DC fanatics will enjoy the upcoming DC Historical Studies Conference, Nov. 12-15 at the Carnegie Library in DC. Some of your colleagues are presenting in the conference. Also, historian Eric Foner will be speaking. I blogged about some panels: http://sociologyinmyneighborhood.blogspot.com/2015/10/dc-historical-studies-conference-nov-12.html but I am a sociologist and thus have some biases, so you can see the program, etc, here: http://www.dchistory.org/programs/annual-conference/ http://www.dchistory.org/uploads/42ndAnnualConferenceonDCHistoricalStudiesProgram3.pdf The Eric Foner lecture is free (registration required) and the entire conference is only $30 (registration required)!
