Undergraduate History Conference March 28-29
The History Department invites you to the 2014 Undergraduate History Conference, which takes place Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29. On Friday, keynote speaker Prof. Hartmut Lehmann, professor emeritus of Medieval and Modern History at the University of Kiel, will present “2017: The 500-Year Celebration of the Protestant Reformation in an Age of Secularization and Religious Pluralism” from 5-6 p.m. in the Native Forum (BSS 162).
Dr. Lehmann was the founding director of the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C. and the Director of the Max-Planck-Institute for History in Göttingen, Germany. He has been a guest professor at Princeton, Harvard, the University of Chicago, Emory, Dartmouth, UCLA, and the Australian National University in Canberra.
Lehmann is a foremost expert and the author and editor of more than a dozen books on various aspects of Protestant Christianity. He has been best known as the pioneering "profane historian" of German Lutheran Pietism from the seventeenth century through the twentieth centuries. He is also the author of Martin Luther in the American Imagination, and most recently, The Memory of Luther, 1817-2017 (Luthergedächtnis, 1817-2017).
On Saturday, students will present their research projects from 10 a.m-3:45 p.m. in FH 179 and FH 025. (Please contact the History Department for the conference program, so as not to disrupt in-progress presentations.)
