Now in its ninth year, the Loyola University Chicago History Graduate Student Conference brings together graduate students from around the world to share their research in a formal and friendly setting. With presenters and commentators from numerous fields of history, including but not limited to urban, public, gender, medieval, medical, political, social, and cultural, the annual conference is a perfect setting for both masters and doctoral students to present their latest work. Held November 3, 2012 in beautiful downtown Chicago, HGSA's conference allowed visitors to meet other scholars in their field while also exploring a world-class city. Photo by Anne E. Cullen
