The Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium brings together undergraduate students from across the country to present their humanities and interdisciplinary research to a national audience. This year's symposium will be held March 21-23, on the Johns Hopkins Homewood campus. Submissions (in the form of a title and abstract) are due by Dec. 8.
The Macksey Symposium is designed to provide a development opportunity for emerging humanities scholars. Participants in the 2024 symposium can expect:
- a robust audience of undergraduate students from two- and four-year colleges and universities across the U.S., plus faculty, staff, and supporters
- a keynote address, meet-and-greet, and book signing with Sami Schalk, associate professor of gender and women's studies at UW-Madison and author of Black Disability Politics
- workshops and info sessions on applying to graduate school and preparing for careers in the humanities
- an invitation to revise their presentation into a journal-length publication for our journal of proceedings, The Macksey Journal
