We invite you to join us on March 7-8, 2019, when we will be recognizing a quarter-century of continued academic excellence and dedication to graduate student research with our conference:&nbsp;<strong><em>Ripples<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s theme \u201c<strong><em>Ripples<\/em><\/strong>\u201d traces the paths of the stories that we study.&nbsp;<em>Ripples&nbsp;<\/em>speak to both the consequences that follow historical events, and consequences of the interventions made by those writing about them. They show the persistence of stories demanding to be told, and how they push against other disciplines. They ask the historian to reflect on the consequences of producing their own work, and the distortions within those histories. Themes and topic relating to&nbsp;<em>Ripples&nbsp;<\/em>could include (but are not limited to) the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"columns\">\n<div class=\"columns__two\">\n<ul>\n<li>Memory Studies<\/li>\n<li>Activist histories<\/li>\n<li>Generational\/identity studies<\/li>\n<li>Social and cultural history<\/li>\n<li>Environmental history<\/li>\n<li>Heritage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"columns__two\">\n<ul>\n<li>Local histories<\/li>\n<li>Transnational history<\/li>\n<li>Popular history<\/li>\n<li>Historiography<\/li>\n<li>Digital history<\/li>\n<li>Trauma history \/studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage proposals framed in the terms of the theme and reflect on a scholar\u2019s original research and the ripples it has within its given field; however,&nbsp;<strong>we welcome submissions on any topic related to history<\/strong>. The Underhill Graduate Student Colloquium strives to be an interdisciplinary forum where scholars from different fields can come together and share their scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are pleased to announce that this year\u2019s keynote speaker will be Dr. Joshua MacFadyen, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Geospatial Humanities in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Prince Edward Island. Dr. MacFadyen\u2019s research examines \u201cripples\u201d in his transnational study of border-crossing seeds, commodities, and communities between Canada and the U.S. Dr. MacFadyen\u2019s address about his new book,&nbsp;<em>Flax Americana<\/em>:&nbsp;<em>A History of the Fibre and Oil that Covered a Continent&nbsp;<\/em>(McGill-Queen\u2019s University Press, October 2018) will take place in the evening of Friday, March 8. His talk will be preceded by a cocktail hour to celebrate the conference\u2019s 25th year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Submissions must include a proposal of no more than 300 words, as well as a brief biographical statement. We welcome submissions and presentations in either official language.&nbsp;<strong>Please send your submission to&nbsp;<u>underhill.colloquium@gmail.com&nbsp;<\/u>no later than January 14, 2019<\/strong>.
