Frontier – n. (frn-tîr, frn-, frntîr, frn-)
1. a wilderness at the edge of a settled area of the country
2. an international boundary or the area immediately inside the boundary
3. an undeveloped field of study; a topic inviting research and development

The most momentous events in human history are directly associated with
humankind’s encounter with frontiers, be they natural or manmade.
Mechanical, political, intellectual and philosophical innovations illustrate
just some of the types of frontiers our predecessors have encountered. 
If our
history is any indication of what our futures will hold, then one must 
recognize
that there will forever be frontiers. There will always be undiscovered 
lands,
unconquered peoples, unexamined manuscripts, and unexplained phenomena. One
might say that history is made when frontiers are encountered, discovered,
explored, conquered, and created.

We invite scholars to the Eighth Annual History Graduate Student Association
Symposium to share their research in any field as it pertains to
“Historical Frontiers.”
