We are very excited to announce that Registration is now open for the 2023 Underhill!

The Underhill Graduate Student Colloquium is a FREE conference spotlighting MA and PhD research at Carleton and other Canadian Universities.

Our Underhill 2023 theme, History in Conversation, is meant to foster collaboration and forefront how historians and scholars in other fields are working together, both directly and indirectly, to expand our historical understandings. Be it approaches in public policy, social sciences, STEM, geography – how are we employing interdisciplinarity in our histories?

REGISTER: Attendance at the Underhill is open to all undergraduates, graduate students, professors, researchers, and staff across Faculties and Departments at Carleton University and elsewhere. The Underhill is also open to friends, family, and colleagues of all graduate students presenting. Please share widely! #Underhill2023

On behalf of the 2023 Underhill Committee, thank you for joining us!
