Call for Works-in-Progress: Great Lakes Histories

Summer 2025

The Great Lakes History Research Group (UWindsor and Grand Valley State University) invites proposals for a summer workshop series of works-in-progress. Starting in June 2025, we will hold workshops over zoom throughout the summer for scholars to receive feedback on their publication’s progress, on any aspect of Great Lakes history.

We are hoping to meet 2-4 times in summer 2025, virtually over zoom.

Meetings will be usually 1.5-2 hours long and you should aim to send your work to the group at least a week prior.

Our first meeting (tentatively) will be on June 2, 2025.

Please submit your abstract and title along with a suggested date for discussion by May 15, 2025, to

gteasdal@uwindsor.edu or swayampr@gvsu.edu
