They are open to any interested faculty, graduate students, and/or staff. They are very flexible and open to most any type of presentation. Typical presentations are one hour in length. Most of the programs occur between 9 am and 5 pm.
Presentations will be in front of approximately 30-35 Seniors and is free of charge. Some of the current or previous topics pertain to Japan, the
Civil War in NC, and other history books. Many of the patrons have expressed interests in FDR, more world history, US history, science, etc.
This is also a great opportunity for graduate students to practice oral presentations.

Carla Ivey, for grad, 2006/03/02 15:19:44
As part of the Carnegie Initiative, the second-
year graduate students in the Department of
History have organized a two-day event on 31
March and April 1, 2006:
METHOD & MEANING: A WORKSHOP IN HISTORICAL
APPROACH AND INTERPRETATION
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together
scholars and graduate students to interrogate the
relationship between method and meaning in
historical inquiry. We have invited participants
to discuss their current research while
addressing this central question. Although we
aim to engage scholars who practice a wide
variety of approaches, we are particularly
interested in centering the workshop on those
historical fields and approaches that are 1)
untraditional, or 2) have experienced a recent
revival and/or re-imagining in recent years. In
six different panels, our participants will
explore the problems and possibilities of
studying visual culture, religious experience,
biography, environmental history, premodern
sexualities, and transnationalism.
All panels will convene in the Boyd Seminar
Room. Scheduling details have yet to be
confirmed, but will follow soon.
