History Graduate Student Workshop

Dr. Carmichael will be hosting a lunch workshop in LeConte 320 on "Making the Invisible Visible and Allowing Silences to Speak in Civil War Era History." Discussion will focus on how, both as historians and writers, we deal with lacunae in our sources to assure a fuller and more accurate understanding of the past. Some (very light) reading will be assigned.

For graduate students in history. Lunch will be provided. An RSVP is required - a limited number of seats are available.
