2026 Annual Conference of the Loyola University Chicago History Graduate Student Association

Since 2005, Loyola’s History Graduate Student Association (HGSA) has hosted an annual conference for history graduate students to share their work, receive valuable feedback, and collaborate on future research. The conference attracts graduate students from across the country who come together to present on a wide variety of topics.

We have announced our 2026 theme “The Power of Public History: Resistance, Revolutions, Renaissance” and are accepting submissions for projects until November 30th, 2025! This year’s conference will be held from February 20th-22nd, 2026 Loyola’s Water Tower Campus. We hope to see you there!

Those with questions, comments, or project submissions can reach out to us at loyolahistoryconference@gmail.com.
