If you will be the OAH next week in Philadelphia, please take the chance to join SHGAPE vice-president, Nancy Unger, at a luncheon event on Saturday April 6, where she will give a presentation on Bob La Follette. The lunch is free, sponsored by Proquest. You will also receive a complimentary copy of Dr. Unger's book, Fighting Bob La Follette: The Righteous Reformer

SHGAPE is organizing a lightning round session on the Gilded Age and Progressive era. We are looking for 3 more graduate students or other emerging scholars to participate (there will be ten total). A lightning round is a 90 minute session meant to highlight emerging scholarship in a field. Each scholar has 5 minutes to give their “elevator pitch” of their research in quick succession and then the floor will be open for discussion, which a senior scholar will moderate.  Your research can be at any stage, as long as you can articulate it.

I am seeking  collaborators for a panel on the history of capitalism and (possibly) its intersections with urban and architectural history for OAH 2019 in Philadelphia. I am in the early stages of a research project on the archiectural and urban planning questions surronding the commodities and securities trading industries in the 1960s and 1970s and am looking to present my work with a diverse group of scholars.
