Historical Inquiries: Illuminating the Past Through Student Symposium

📣 Call for Research Presentations: UW Students 📚 

We invite all UW historical-minded students interested in showcasing their work and research by sharing their insights with their peers in a hybrid symposium. This is a unique opportunity to spotlight your academic achievements and interests while contributing to the rich tapestry of historical knowledge at UW. 

If you are looking to present, we ask that, in a 10-minute presentation, you present an original slide deck or read an original piece of writing on a historical topic of your choosing and then answer a few questions from the audience. This does not have to be something brand new and can be a presentation/reading of an assignment submitted for a grade that you are very proud of. Either way, we want to display your work and passion and provide a forum for engagement and learning.  

While we cannot facilitate everybody’s presentation despite our want to do so, all are encouraged to submit proposals to present.

We are limiting spots to 5-6 presenters, those chosen will be contacted with conformation by June 30th at the latest and then given approximately 3 weeks to prepare.

The event will be held both virtually and in person in the Mackirdy Reading Room (HH 117)

Event Timing: July 27th, 2023 @ 5:00 pm

Event Address: Via Zoom OR MacKirdy Reading Room (HH 117)
