CALL FOR PAPERS: 2018 Center for Cold War Studies and International History Graduate Student Symposium

Friday, April 13, 2018, 9am-5pm, HSSB 4020

PROPOSALS DUE BY FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2018.

UCSB's Center for Cold War Studies and International History (CCWS) is happy to announce a call for papers and commentators for our graduate student symposium, to be held at UCSB on Friday, April 13, 2018. We encourage paper submissions by UCSB graduate students working on any aspect of the Cold War, broadly defined, or on related topics in international history or contemporary international affairs.

CCWS is holding this symposium series to showcase the new and exciting work being done by UCSB graduate students on Cold War and international topics.

This is a graduate student driven event: while professors and faculty members are encouraged to attend, the primary participants, including presenters and commentators, will be current and recent graduate students from UC Santa Barbara. This colloquium is designed to give students a semi-formal and friendly forum for presenting their research, and is intended to be a stepping-stone for those preparing to attend conferences at the national and international level. UCSB graduate students from across the humanities and social sciences are invited to take part in this event.

Paper proposals (in Word or PDF format), including a 250-word abstract, a curriculum vitae or brief academic biography, contact information, and statement of audiovisual needs, if any, should be submitted to the CCWS Administrative Assistant, Mattie Webb, at mattie@umail.ucsb.edu

Graduate students interested in serving as commentators should submit a curriculum vitae or brief academic biography and contact information to the above email address.

TIMELINES:

- Abstract and participant form submission deadline: Friday, March 9, 2018

- Notification of acceptance: Friday, March 23, 2018

More information will be made available at the CCWS website: http://www.history.ucsb.edu/projects/
