The University of Kansas Department of History is pleased
to be hosting WHEATS in Spring 2014. Now in its tenth year, the Workshop for
the History of Environment, Agriculture, Technology, and Science (WHEATS)
brings together graduate students studying the history of the environment,
agriculture, science, or technology. WHEATS is open to submissions from any
discipline with interests in these fields. Papers — generally 25-30 pages — are
circulated in advance to all participants, and at the workshop papers receive
feedback from participants and senior scholars through a roundtable discussion.
This format is well suited for works in progress, and the workshop will have
sessions on professional development as well as opportunities to meet and
engage other scholars in the KU community.
Due to logistical constraints, papers must be in English.
KU plans to provide housing, food, and some funding to
help defray travel costs. Potential participants should submit a one-page
abstract (200-250
words) and a short curriculum vitae by Nov. 15,
2013. Submit proposals at https://history.drupal.ku.edu/call-proposals.
All submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail. Acceptance will confirmed by
Dec. 1, 2013.
