We welcome you to the PCCBS virtual half-day event on Saturday, March 23rd. The day will begin at 2 pm (PST) with a graduate student dissertation workshop, followed by our business meeting, prize ceremony, and a presidential address. All events will be Pacific Standard Time and held on Zoom. See attached PCCBS 2024 flyer for the full schedule.
The student workshop will feature three papers, ranging from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
- Elizabeth Hines (University of Chicago) ~ “Toleration, Smuggling, and the Outbreak of the First Anglo-Dutch War”
- Kristen Thomas-McGill (UCSB) ~ “Discourses of Affect, Honor, and Masculinity Around a Celebrity’s Suicide”
- Calvin Scott Paulson (UCB) ~ “All the Marks of a Swindle:” Walter Sidney Bromhead and his Dream of a Colonial Commonweal
We encourage all attendees to the student workshop (faculty and students) to read the three pre-circulated papers, which will be available in this Google Folder by March 16th.
The presidential address, beginning at 5:15pm, will be given by Erika Rappaport (UCSB): “TATE NOT STATE’: BIG SUGAR AND THE MARKETING OF FREE ENTERPRISE IN POSTWAR BRITAIN”
We are looking forward to seeing you all on Zoom next month, and in Stanford in March 2025!
