The History Graduate Student Association at Louisiana State University is delighted to announce the thirteenth annual Graduate History Conference for March 4-5, 2022. The conference allows graduate students to present their original and ongoing work in a professional environment and to receive feedback from their peers and experts within their field.
For this conference, our keynote speaker is Dr. Tyler Priest, associate professor of history and geography at Iowa University. His current research focuses on the study of environmental history, fossil fuels, and controversies surrounding natural resource extraction. “His most recent book project, Oceans of Oil: The Epic Struggles Over Offshore Drilling in the United States, examines the legal, political, and policy conflicts over offshore oil development from the 1920s through the Deepwater Horizon disaster.” His keynote speech, scheduled for the evening of March 4th is entitled “Shell Oil’s Deepwater Mission to Mars.”
As a graduate organization, we wish to connect with our fellow graduate students by sharing historical perspectives across departments and programs. We invite submissions for individual papers and panels from graduate students at all levels and departments. Proposals may cover all fields and approaches of historical scholarship and span all chronological and geographical boundaries.
