Friday March 3, 2017

The History Graduate Student Association at Florida State University is pleased to host the 9th Annual Southeast Regional Graduate Student Conference on March 3, 2017 in Tallahassee, Florida. The theme for the conference is “Oppression and Resistance.” Conference panels will examine oppression and resistance by addressing the interplay between these two sides of conflict. Papers may address conflict on any scale, from individuals to groups or institutions, and investigate the chosen conflict through relevant sociocultural factors such as gender, sexuality, class, race, religion, ethnicity/nationality, etc. The conference is designed to foster a collaborative academic environment between and among graduate students and faculty.
