application PORTAL IS open!
The symposium was designed to offer students across the country the chance to gather together and disseminate their humanities research on a national scale. This year’s event will be virtual, held live on April 24th and 25th, 2021, and the application portal is now open. This symposium is open to undergraduate students from any two-year or four-year college or university who would like to present their original scholarship in the humanities. In addition to the multiple panels of student papers and presentations (including original creative works), the symposium will also have a wonderful keynote delivered by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anthony Doerr and multiple professional development panels featuring Johns Hopkins graduate students and faculty and editors from Johns Hopkins University Press.
Students studying all areas of the humanities are welcome to attend. Attendees will also have the opportunity to work with student editors to revise their presentation into a journal-length presentation for our journal of proceedings, the Macksey Journal. [FSU Honors Student, Hannah "Grace" Hopke, previously participated in the symposium and her work is now included in the Macksey Journal. Read more about Hannah "Grace" Hopke's experience.
