Three Rivers Graduate
History Conference
at Pittsburgh, PA
Agents of Change is a joint effort between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University history graduate students, designed to foster intellectual exchange and professional networking amongst students from across the Rust Belt and beyond, as well as faculty, and the broader community.
Join us during this two-day event for panel discussions on the dynamics of agency and structure across global contexts, workshops for up and coming scholars, and in support of graduate students.
Our generous sponsors at both institutions make this joint effort possible.
