Just as there are undergraduate journals to showcase your work, there are undergraduate conferences as well:
Thompson Rivers Undergraduate Conference in History, Philosophy, and Politics
Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
January 18-20 2008
Deadline: November 5, 2007
We invites submissions of individual research essays and proposals of panels dealing with all historical periods and all regions. Send proposals to phpconf@mytru.ca An abstract (max. 300 words) should be sent for research essays and panel proposals should provide panel’s title, the names of each presenter on the panel [up to 3 people] and the abstracts for their individual papers. Graduate students in history are invited to submit their names, affiliation and contact information if they wish to serve as panel moderators. Please contact Dr. Annie St. John-Stark, (astjohn@tru.ca) for more details. Specific conference details and registration information will be on the Thompson Rivers website (www.tru.ca)
Update from Professor Ferrari:
UPS' Canadian Studies program has some funds from the Canadian government to support student research and travel. We would encourage students whose work is accepted to this conference to apply to me or Professor Doug Sackman for funding. I don't know that we can pick up the whole tab, but we certainly can defray the cost of attending!
