“Prospecting the Past” is an opportunity for undergraduate students to present their research that explores the historical dimensions of virtually every topic – science and technology, food, migrations, environmental change, racial/gender/sexual identities, politics, animal, economics...anything that centers on an exploration of history!
Also, this symposium in not just for History majors! It’s for students in any major that have explored a topic through a historical lens and would like to showcase their work.
This event will be organized like a professional conference. Participants will present their work, either a traditional paper or other project format, in a panel along with other presenters. A Chair and Discussant will join each panel to introduce you and your project title, as well as offer some comments at the end of the presentation. Friday evening, we will have an opening dinner, keynote address, and hosted film viewing. Saturday will be the panels along with a field experience (TBA).
Finally, those accepted into the conference will also be eligible to having their work published in the UA history journal, Footnotes.
When: April 18-19, 2025
Where: The University of Arizona Campus (Symposium Schedule)
