As part of its five year commemoration of the centennial of World War I, the University of South Carolina Upstate is hosting an international and interdisciplinary conference on April 6-7, 2017, the anniversary of the United States’ entrance into the war. We seek papers and panels that will examine international aspects of the war, with particular attention to regions of the world and features of the war that are underrepresented. Topics to be explored include military and geopolitical ramifications, colonial experiences, changes in medicine, education, arts, literature, science and economics, and examinations of the roles of and impact on women, African Americans, immigrants and other distinctive population groups.

The Keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Jennifer Keene, Professor and Chair of the History Department, Chapman University, California.
