The reinvigoration of political history and its blending of politics, social, and cultural analysis has emerged as one of the most exciting areas of academic scholarship in the past quarter century. For the tenth anniversary of the Boston University American Political History Institute (APHI) Graduate Conference, we seek papers that explore the horizons of this ever-growing field.

Paying close attention to the way that politics and public policy structure everyday life, the APHI invites scholars to present work that engages in analysis of policy as well as the interconnectedness of personal networks and political endeavors, with an eye on the horizon: constructions of policy communities, political networks, personal relationships, and national and international connections at critical junctures in U.S. history.

The most outstanding submission will receive the APHI Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Prize, a $1,000 award. All presenters must be current graduate students, and distinguished faculty will serve as commentators for each panel.

To mark the tenth anniversary, the organizers of the inaugural APHI Graduate Student Conference will return for a special roundtable panel on the state of the field, how political history engages with public discourse in American politics, and its unique position at the intersection of the past and present. Panelists include Kathryn Cramer Brownell of Purdue University, Leah Wright Rigueur of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Lily Geismer of Claremont McKenna College.
