Hello everyone,

Please see the Call for Proposals for the annual Tri-U graduate student conference! It's also posted on our website.


Speaking Through the Past

1 March 2024
Wilfrid Laurier University
  
Call for Papers 2025:
We are pleased to announce the annual Tri-University Graduate Program in History is accepting submissions for the annual conference. This year’s theme is: “Speaking Through the Past.”
 
2025 Theme:
 
Historians have long accepted that research begins by “getting our hands dirty” in the archives, but it’s time to question the traditional boundaries that define where and how we approach the past. While textual archival collections are central to most historical inquiry, oral histories, film, sound, personal narratives, works of art, material culture, and community-held records offer equally valuable and often underexplored pathways to historical understanding. How we interact with these varied sources and how we innovate our approaches to uncovering historical understanding matter in a world of changing technologies and perspectives.
 
We especially invite graduate students to submit proposals that reflect on these evolving practices, challenge established norms, and expand our collective understanding of the diverse archival landscapes that inform historical research. Through your work, we hope to illuminate new perspectives on both the sources we rely upon and the methods we employ to interpret them.
 
Paper Details:
Papers and panels dealing with a variety of historical themes, periods, and perspectives will be accepted.  Submissions are welcomed, but not limited to, some of the following themes:
 
  • Technology and New Methodologies
  • Historiography and Sources
  • Local, Regional and Transnational Studies
  • Media In all its Forms
  • Gender and Sexuality
  • Indigenous history
  • Art History
  • Material Culture
  • Religion and Spirituality
  • Economics
  • Reconciliation and Reparation through History
  • Warfare, Conflict, and Peace
 
Cost: There is no cost for successful graduate student applicants. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
 
Submission Requirements:
Interested applicants are invited to submit proposals for individual papers, panels, or round tables. Each paper submission should include an abstract of 250 words and short biography of 150 words with no more than three papers combined for a panel proposal.
 
Submissions are due 31 January 2025
