Join us as we explore the many aspects of civil wars and conflicts, with a particular focus on the interrelationship between those conflicts and the construction, advocacy and appropriation of ethnic, gender, national, racial and religious identities. Over forty speakers will be presenting over two days of the conference, presenting a wide variety of views and interests related to this theme.

Our keynote speaker is Victoria E. Bynum from Texas State University at San Marcos, who will speak on "Old South Unionists into New South Radicals: Political Turmoil in the Civil War Era" on Friday, April 11, 6:00 PM. Our schedule of sessions and special events is now on line, and special lodging rates for conference participants are available as well.

We look forward to seeing you on April 11 and 12! If you have any questions, please contact us.
