The 11th Graduate Conference hosted by the Graduate School of North American Studies at Freie Universität Berlin will explore interdisciplinary ideas of progress and consider their relevance across numerous fields of research.

As an interdisciplinary institute, the Graduate School welcomes abstracts for individual 20-minute papers from political science, history, economics, literature, cultural studies, and sociology, as well as related fields of research. Graduate students (M.A. & Ph.D.) and early career scholars are especially encouraged to apply.

Abstracts should be limited to 300 words and include the author's name, e-mail address, institutional affiliation, discipline(s), and a short biography. The deadline has been extended to February 14th, 2018.

The conference committee will confirm the receipt of abstracts via e-mail and will notify the selected researchers by the end of March 2018.
