2022 Conference Update (2/7/2022)

The History Graduate Student Association wants to thank everyone who has submitted a presentation proposal for our annual academic conference. The Conference Committee has made its decision and have sent emails confirming the applicant’s approval status.

If approved, the prospective presenter must pay a registration fee and provide a copy of their paper in order to have their registration finalized. The deadline for this is Thursday, February 24th. Currently, we can accept payment via Venmo or PayPal. The appropriate links to electronically send funds to the HGSA will be listed on the email sent to approved presenters. 

If a presenter is unable to pay through an online method, we can make an exception and accept a paper check made out to the "History Graduate Student Association" prior to their presentation. For all applicable cases, we request that the presenter email hgsa@lsu.edu directly and make the Conference Committee aware of the situation so that they are not removed from the program. 

We are aware that given current circumstances those who may be initially planning on attending the conference in person might find that they will have to do so virtually instead. If that is the case, we ask that all applicable persons contact hgsa@lsu.edu as soon as possible. This will allow us time to adjust our schedule and assign you to one of the virtual panels taking place on Thursday, March 3rd. In cases in which the, now virtual, presenter had paid a standard registration fee of $30 prior to notification, a refund will be initiated from our side shortly after the conference has ended.
