Each year, the Indiana University History Graduate Student Association hosts a conference allowing local and regional scholars to present their research.
The title of the 2012 conference is Ruptures and Revolutions: Moments of Unrest and Change. This year’s conference is March 23–25, 2012, on the beautiful Bloomington campus of Indiana University.
The conference’s primary goal is to encourage a more interdisciplinary discussion that reaches into the local community and engages with a variety of sources and perspectives. We understand Ruptures and Revolutions as social, cultural, intellectual, and historical transformations. From the Copernican model to MTV, from Classical Greece to Gay Liberation, from the printing press to blogging, from the Boston Tea Party to Occupied Wall Street movements, our lives continuously intersect with the Ruptures and Revolutions of the past, present, and future. Our hope is to engage and continue with these dialogs cross disciplinary boundaries, and to reach beyond the social and academic borders that influence our understandings how Ruptures and Revolutions transform social, intellectual, and cultural change.
