On April 17-18, 2020, the International Graduate Historical Studies Conference will host “Spheres of Change & Challenge: The Local and the Global” at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

We invite all graduate and advanced undergraduate students from across the social sciences and humanities to submit proposals for papers or panels that adopt an interdisciplinary or transnational approach, though we are also seeking papers or panels that approach historical topics in more traditional ways. All submissions must be based on original research. In keeping with the theme of the conference, individual papers will be organized into individually chaired panels that cross spatial, temporal, and disciplinary boundaries. The IGHSC will present prizes for the best papers in several categories.

Send abstract (250-350 words) and a short curriculum vitae as an attachment to our email at histconf@cmich.edu. Final deadline for abstracts is February 16, 2020. Full papers are due March 15, 2020.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Kenneth Pomeranz, University Professor of Modern Chinese History at the University of Chicago
