The Graduate History Association at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is proud to announce that our 35th Annual Graduate History Association Forum will take place on March 17th & 18th, 2023. The Forum is an excellent occasion for student scholars to showcase their research in front of their peers, as well as experts from a variety of historical fields.

 

We are pleased to announce Dr. Claudia Yaghoobi as our keynote speaker. Dr. Yaghoobi is a Roshan Institute Associate Professor and the director of the Center for the Middle East and Islamic Studies at UNC Chapel Hill. Her keynote address, “Iranian Armenian Ancestral Flexibility, Adaptability, and Continuity,” will examine the ways that diasporic Iranian Armenian authors and artists negotiate their identities as minoritized population in Iran and in the US within a liminal space that includes religious, ethnic, national, racial, cultural, gender and sexual factors. Also joining us will be Dr. Jill Massino, Associate Professor of History at UNC Charlotte, as our distinguished speaker who will give her talk, “The Past Isn’t Even Past: On the Uses and Abuses of History in Eastern Europe.”

 

The theme for this year's Forum is "Conquering Crisis, Overcoming Obstacles." Throughout history, crises and obstacles, both natural and man-made, have presented themselves to prevent progress. This Forum encourages researchers to examine instances where people in history have not allowed their obstacles to stop them. The papers featured in the Forum reveal instances of the perseverance of people, places and organizations that ultimately advanced history toward the greater good.
