The Department of History FPP is a program which allows for graduate students from the Department of History at Syracuse University to develop skills as aspiring faculty. This is done through hosting panels, workshops, and discussions about a variety of aspects of academia. Every year, the Department of History FPP hosts a graduate conference in the spring, which gives students the opportunity to present their research and meet with scholars from Syracuse University and the surrounding areas.
14th Annual Graduate Conference of the Department of History- Silences and the Politics of Representation
Friday, March 24th, 2023
The Department of History FPP is currently accepting applications for the 14th Annual Graduate Conference on Silences and the Politics of Representation.
This year’s 14th Annual Graduate Conference organized by the Future Professoriate Program has selected the theme of silences and the politics of representation to invite a discussion on what has—and, perhaps more importantly, has not—been studied and given attention in the historical discipline. The theme includes but is not limited to papers that examine marginal histories in both global and regional contexts, rethinking revolutions from alternate perspectives, narratives of subversion and resistance, and interdisciplinary investigation into normative research.
Submissions should consist of a project title, a 150-word abstract for a 20-minute conference presentation, and a 1-page CV. These must be submitted to historyfpp@syr.edu by January 20th. The 14th Annual Graduate Conference will be held on Friday, March 24th at Syracuse University. Papers from various universities, departments, disciplines, and methodologies are welcome.
