Join the New GECC Slack!

Following last year’s GECC listening session discussion, we’re excited to launch a Slack channel for graduate students and early career scholars. This space is intended to host any and all discussions you might have with other GECC folks, but we’ve already created channels to coordinate meeting plans, share resources, and stay up to date on GECC happenings. And, of course, we encourage you all to use the platform to meet and communicate with your fellow caucus members directly.

HSS Registration Open

Registration is open for HSS 2024. See the below links for meeting registration, hotel room bookings, and additional excursions organized by the local program committee. Registration is free for students this year!

Note that there is another meeting at the conference hotel following HSS, so it may be difficult to book additional nights if you plan to stick around Mérida afterwards.

Online Program

The online HSS meeting program is also available on the All Academic site and viewable at the link below.
