The History Graduate Student Association at California State University, Long Beach is pleased to announce its Second Annual Conference on Resistance, Rebellion, and Revolution, to be held at CSU Long Beach on Friday, October 19th, 2018.

 

Our conference encourages graduate students to submit proposals that engage in the conference theme by examining power relations and activism in all historical fields, geographic locations, and time periods. The theme addresses the ways historical actors struggle to overcome oppression, whether their actions be against political, social, or cultural forces. This conference especially solicits proposals attending to international narratives of activism, interdisciplinary approaches, and comparative methodologies. 

 

This conference will host three distinct types of presentations: panels, posters, and roundtable discussions. Panels will have a traditional 15-minute presentation format and will be grouped based on topic with a panel moderator. Posters will be displayed and time will be allotted to have an open floor and to ask questions of the presenters. Roundtable discussions will have a speed format: short 5-minute presentations/speed pitches will be followed by group discussion and feedback. This presentation style will be ideally suited to projects in progress for those seeking opinions on their ideas.

 

This HGSA Conference seeks submissions concerning, but not limited to, the following topics:

 

  • Activism to overcome race, class, or gender oppression
  • Resistance to the changes espoused by activist groups
  • Activism at all stages of development, from underground resistance to full-scale revolution
