Johns Hopkins Macksey Symposium
The Johns Hopkins University’s first annual Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium will be a new annual two-day event at the main Johns Hopkins campus in Baltimore, Maryland and it will offer students across the country the chance to disseminate their humanities research on a national scale. The event will be this spring, April 3rd and 4th, 2020 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. The goal is to have 400 participants this year and Johns Hopkins will also be offering a select number of travel grants to help students afford participation. In addition to the multiple panels of student papers and presentations (including original creative works), there will also be a wonderful keynote delivered by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anthony Doerr and multiple professional development panels featuring graduate students and faculty in the Johns Hopkins humanities departments and centers. Students studying all areas of the humanities are welcome to attend.
