UPEI will host the 10th annual Atlantic Universities Undergraduate History and Classics Conference, March 2-4.
The conference will provide students with an opportunity to gain experience in an academic conference setting, valuable skills for those heading to graduate school.
The theme for this year’s conference is “Shifting Paradigms: Revising the Past’’.
The conference is open to students from all universities in the Atlantic region. While it is focused primarily on history and classics, it is open to students of any discipline who are looking to gain experience presenting in an academic setting.
This is a student-led conference, which rotates to a different university across the Atlantic region every year. This is the first time UPEI has hosted it since 2015.
“Participating in the (conference) last year was one of the best university experiences I've had to date,” said conference co-chair Ida Embleton. “It is such an awesome and accessible opportunity to learn, grow and make valuable connections with people who share similar interests.”
The keynote speaker for the conference will be James Moran, associate professor of history at UPEI. Moran will discuss his newest book, which examines madness and civil law in New England and the United States.
All events are open to the public.
