History of Texas Studies Symposium

We are excited to see you at our closed symposium on historical studies of Texas on February 9th and 10th. We expect important conversations about ongoing efforts related to research, teaching, and work with the public; current challenges and opportunities within and beyond colleges and universities; and what steps might be taken in the coming months and years to address our shared concerns. Thank you in advance for your participation! This symposium should allow participants to meet one another, learn together, test ideas, and think strategically about new ways to move forward. We'll be meeting in closed session in the hope that we can foster honest and direct conversations -- and to express half-baked thoughts and maybe change one another's minds. Please consider in advance what you'd like to share and ask about on February 9th and 10th. Below, please find further logistical details and information.
