The Department of History at The University of Alabama is pleased to 
announce its Second Annual Graduate Student Conference on Power and 
Struggle, to be held at the UA campus on March 5-6, 2010. The conference 
will include a keynote speaker addressing the conference theme, with a 
reception following. Graduate students nationwide are invited to submit 
proposals that engage the conference theme by examining power relations 
in all historical fields and time periods.
The conference theme addresses new approaches of historical analysis 
that focus on the relationship between struggle and power. We encourage 
students to address instances in which people have struggled to break, 
transform, or reclaim the boundaries constructed by those in power. We 
seek proposals employing innovative approaches and interdisciplinary 
research. Particular attention will be given to papers developing 
comparative perspectives and utilizing multi-archival research bases. 
Possible topics may include but are not limited to histories of

• Power in institutions, society, and religion
• Struggle in cultural expression, social relationships, and belief systems
• Power in discourse on gender, race, and class
• Struggle against labels in nationalism, ethnicity, sub-culture, or 
sexual identity
• Power in traditional structures such as politics, diplomacy, 
imperialism, and war
• Struggle in resistance such as crime, protest, liberation, and revolution

Single papers should include a 300-word abstract and a one-page CV of 
the presenter. Full-panel proposals will not be accepted. All 
submissions should be sent in Word format via email to the committee 
using ghaconference at gmail.com.

The deadline for proposal submission is November 2, 2009. Final papers 
should be submitted to commentators by February 1, 2010. For more 
information please email the committee at ghaconference at gmail.com.
