Conferences

These conferences have several common objectives: they bring together leading national and international scholars; they enable faculty and graduate students from colleges and universities in the region and across the country to attend and benefit from such a leading scholarly event; they integrate social sciences, humanities and policy debates; they lead to publications that push forward the cutting-edge of scholarship; and, they include outreach elements that allow the broader community to enjoy education from nationally ranked university programs.
