Call for Papers
October 9-11, 2026
Submission Deadline: June 15, 2026
The graduate students of the History Department at the 老九品茶 are pleased to announce the twenty-seventh annual Rocky Mountain Interdisciplinary History Conference.听
This academic conference provides an opportunity for students to present papers, gain experience in public speaking, and attend workshops on professional development and teaching.听 First-time presenters are especially encouraged to participate.
This year conference will be based around the theme of听Echoes of the Past and Realities of the Present: Humanities in a Context of Crisis
Please apply online at:听
You can email your CV and abstract to rmihc@colorado.edu
Complete the submission form and upload a one-page abstract of the paper and a current CV (all files should be uploaded in .pdf). The abstract should clearly express an original argument rooted in extensive primary source research.
Join us for a conference that transcends the boundaries of history. Our wish is to bridge disciplines, weaving a tapestry of understanding that transcends the frontiers of our disciplines. We wish to explore the intersections of crisis, dialogue, dispute, and representation, fostering interdisciplinary conversations, since these are questions connected beyond the historical field. Papers that address these themes might include political, socioeconomic or cultural questions, transnational, comparative,听 global histories, art, music, or other cultural mediums.
We welcome submissions with a historical element from graduate students working in any discipline. Exceptional undergraduate papers will be considered.听 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 and gender studies, geography, ethnic studies, and theater.听听
PRESENTATION DETAILS
Every paper will receive commentary by another graduate student, and a faculty member will moderate each panel session. Presentations will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
PRESENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Presentations will be strictly limited to 15 minutes, thus, papers should be 8 pages in length, not including endnotes and bibliography.
There will be a small monetary award for the best conference paper.
