The HGSA at Florida State University has sponsored an annual conference since 2008, typically in late March. The conference brings together graduate students from history and other humanities and social science departments at Florida State and other institutions. It allows “up-and-coming” scholars a congenial environment to build interpersonal networks within the discipline of history and beyond and to gain experience presenting their research in a professional setting.

This year the Thirteenth Southeast Regional Graduate Student Conference will take place on March 3, 2023. The conference theme is “The Pursuit of Power.”

The Call for Papers for this year’s conference is officially CLOSED.
