29th Annual History in the Making Graduate Student Conference: Commonplace Post-Interruption

Commonplace Post-Interruption: the ‘return to normal’?

History in the Making is a student-run conference coordinated annually by Concordia University graduate students for graduate students throughout the world. The conference provides emerging scholars with a platform to present their research, receive valuable input from panelists and conference attendees and ultimately refine their findings and strengthen their arguments.

The conference also provides graduate students with an opportunity to network and forge friendships with other emerging scholars from across the continent and beyond. Founded in 1995 by Concordia PhD student Keith Lowther (lost due to AIDS complications in 1997), HITM 2024-Commonplace Post-Interruption marks the conference’s 29th year.

The conference will also include guest presentations by prominent scholars:

Anna Sheftel (Concordia) and Sonia Bazar: “Researching and Representing the Unknowable: Making Sense of Back River Cemetery through Oral History and Visual Arts.”

Amie Wright (PhD Candidate, Carlton University): “The Invention of Normal: Analyzing Moral Panics of the Past to Illuminate the Present.”
