Submission Deadline: 02/01/2021 —
History is punctuated by periods of crisis that change the fundamental structures of society. Crises can range from a single event to multi-year, multi-level phenomena. In an age where we are confronting our own multiple crises, it is more important than ever to consider how we as historians deal with crises. This conference explores the concept of crisis in history and in historical practice. This three-day symposium is the inaugural Convergences: York-University of Toronto Graduate History Conference. Held from 28-30 April 2021, this conference will be virtual due to COVID-19. Sessions will be distributed over three days to accommodate speaker schedules, time zones, and mitigate Zoom fatigue.
We invite graduate students (MA and PhD) in history and related disciplines to submit proposals that address the issue of crisis, broadly construed, in history. Presentations should be 20 minutes in length, followed by a Q&A period. Completed panels will also be accepted.
