The James A. Rawley Graduate Conference in the Humanities, hosted by the University of Nebraska's History Graduate Student Association (HGSA), is an annual event that affords graduate students and advanced undergraduates from across the humanities the opportunity to present their research through paper, poster, and digital project presentations in an environment modeled on professional conferences. This interdisciplinary conference is open to all UNL and non-UNL students.
While every year hosts a new theme, the conference schedule typically includes additional opportunities for presentations and professional development. These activities include traditional panels, roundtables, workshops, lightning rounds, keynote lectures, plenary sessions, and more! For details on this year's theme and activities, please check our 2025 Conference page.
