We welcome submissions with a historical element from graduate students working in any discipline. Exceptional undergraduate papers will be considered.Ìý Past participants have come from fields as diverse as history, political science, economics, cultural studies, philosophy, comparative literature, sociology, film, art history, religious studies, anthropology, women’s and gender studies, geography, ethnic studies, and theater.ÌýÌý
