Forums have featured practice conference papers or job-talks, dissertation chapters, and truncated versions of master s theses. In most cases copies of the paper are available ahead of time so the audience comes prepared with questions and comments. Once a year, usually during spring semester, the GHS brings a prominent historian to campus to give a presentation and meet with graduate students. The GHS usually holds about four meetings a year to conduct business and discuss issues of concern to members. Each fall the GHS secretary-treasurer produces and distributes a graduate student directory.
Cool stuff is available during our annual fall fund-raising sale.
GHS maintains two lists, GHS Official and GHS Discussion. You may subscribe to either or both. In addition to student subscribers, messages posted on GHS Official are sent to the department chair and the director of graduate studies. GHS Discussion is a less formal venue where subscribers may post random thoughts, carry on philosophical discussions, forward items of general interest, complain, and so forth. Only students receive these postings.
