The second annual Graduate Humanities Symposium hosted by the USF Humanities Institute will be held Friday, November 21 in the Marshall Student Center. Graduate students with a humanities-related project are invited to apply to present their research paper in a panel format.

This symposium provides great experience for your C.V. or professional resume, as well as opportunities to network with other graduate students. There is no cost to participate in this symposium. Free breakfast and lunch is provided for presenters and moderators as well as a swag bag. Please attend as much of the symposium as your schedule allows. 

Faculty interested in volunteering to serve as a panel moderator, please contact Jade von Werder.

Symposium Format:
Panel Discussions are the traditional presentation method for most disciplines. A panel has a general topic (for example, “Gender Roles in the 19th Century") with 3 scholars, each of whom will present their individual work that falls under the general topic. Each individual presentation should be 12 – 15 minutes long. After all individual presentations, the group will take questions from the audience.
