SUMMARY:SHGAPE-Sponsored Writing Groups
DESCRIPTION:Our popular program is back! Check out all the details of the SHGAPE-Sponsored Writing Groups! Thank you to the Events Committee for planning this great SHGAPE program.  \nDo you want dedicated group writing time or need important feedback on works in progress? Join a SHGAPE-sponsored Writing Workshop Group! This program is ideal for all stages\, whether you are a graduate student working on your proposal or dissertation\, or a senior scholar working on your second or third book!  \n  \nYour group will include between 4 and 6 fellow members\, grouped by the SHGAPE Events Committee. Groups will include scholars of similar stage and/or research area to enable open and helpful conversation. Once your groups are assigned\, group members will have the discretion to set the times and dates of their workshop meetings over the course of the 2025-2026 academic year. Group members can workshop short works-in-progress such as book chapters or articles (no full-length manuscripts please) and receive either written or verbal (or both) feedback from their fellow group members during their session. The Events Committee will ensure there’s a balance in each group and that you are paired with scholars who match your academic stage/area as much as possible.  \n  \nIf you are interested in joining a Writing Workshop group\, please fill out the Google Form by October 10  and indicate your name\, affiliation\, email\, SHGAPE Membership status (already a member or needing to join)\, research interests/dissertation area\, and briefly describe the potential piece to be workshopped. If you are not already a SHGAPE member\, you will need to join by October 17 using the link https://www.cambridge.org/core/membership/shgape.  \n  \nGroups will be sent emails with everyone’s contact information by October 31. After that\, it is up to the group to decide the structure of the group and schedule meetings. For example\,  a group with six members might decide to have monthly meetings between November and April. We suggest pre-circulating your paper amongst group members at least two weeks in advance. Groups may also choose to have more frequent optional weekly or biweekly writing meetings – meeting online for designated times to work on their pieces together. We encourage groups to think about future potential conference panels or even co-written publications such as blog posts for the SHGAPE blog! \n  \nLink to Google Form: https://forms.gle/MzzcW1opNgtUMFtD7 \n  \nQuestions? Email Hannah Alms (SHGAPE Events Committee Chair) at halms@transy.edu. \n

SUMMARY:SHGAPE Luncheon featuring Distinguished Speaker Dr. Mia Bay
DESCRIPTION:Advance ticket required \nThe Streetcar Wars: Streetcars\, Segregation and Social Change \nThe most widely used form of urban public transportation during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era\, streetcars were also a major site or racial conflict. Desegregated in the Post-Civil War era—largely as a result of Black protests—they were resegregated in the South during the twentieth century’s first decade and remained a stage for race riots and other clashes between Blacks and whites throughout their history.  This paper will explore the intertwined rise of street cars and racial segregation in making of modern American cities. \nDr. Mia Bay is the newly appointed Paul A. Mellon Professor of American History in the University of Cambridge. Previously she taught at University of Pennsylvania\, where she was Roy F. and Jeanette P. Nichols Professor of American History\, and in the Department of History at Rutgers University\, where she also led the Rutgers Center for Race and Ethnicity. She is a scholar of American and African American intellectual\, cultural and social history whose interests include black women’s thought\, African American approaches to citizenship\, and the history of race and transportation. Bay’s most recent book is the Bancroft prize-winning Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance ( Harvard University Press\, 2021). Her previous books include To Tell the Truth Freely: The Life of Ida B. Wells (Hill & Wang\, February 2009); The White Image in the Black Mind: African-American Ideas About White People 1830-1925 (Oxford University Press\, 2000). Bay’s current scholarly projects include a book on the history of African American ideas about Thomas Jefferson\, and a study the streetcars and segregation in the nineteenth and twentieth century United States.

SUMMARY:Lloyd Ambrosius and His Historical Legacies
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion \nSolicited by the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (SHGAPE). Endorsed by WHA \nAbstract\nThis panel reflects upon and commemorates the tremendous accomplishments and broad impact of Lloyd Ambrosius (1941-2024)\, a leading expert on Woodrow Wilson and Wilsonian statecraft. In his long career at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL)\, where he was the Samuel Clark Waugh Distinguished Professor of International Relations and a Professor in History\, Lloyd earned a reputation as a superb teacher of U.S.\, diplomatic\, and international relations history. His dedication as a teacher and mentor extended to his work as Mary Ball Washington Chair of American History at University College Dublin and a Fulbright Teaching and Research Professor at the University of Heidelberg. Along with shaping the outlooks of students over roughly half a century\, Lloyd made a major impact on our understandings of the Progressive Era and the history of U.S. foreign relations through his research. His four major books and many chapters and articles trenchantly assess Wilson’s worldview\, diplomacy\, and influence. From his early work on Wilson and the New Left to his later work on Wilson’s religious formation and racism\, Lloyd’s research has helped wide audiences understand liberal internationalism. Over the course of his long career\, Lloyd amassed a remarkable record of professional leadership. He was the founding coordinator and chief advisor for the University of Nebraska’s International Affairs program and chair of the program committee for the University of Nebraska’s E.N. Thompson Forum on International Issues\, which brought figures such as Mikhail Gorbachev and Desmond Tutu to UNL. He was a founding member of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR)\, which he subsequently served in many capacities. He also brought his positive grace in his interactions with colleagues and his unstinting support for junior scholars to his leadership role as President of the Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (SHGAPE). The chair of the panel\, Jeannette Jones\, is a noted scholar of U.S. foreign relations who also knew Lloyd as a colleague at UNL. Kristin Ahlberg\, who earned a PhD under Lloyd’s direction\, will discuss his contributions to the UNL history department\, the broader UNL and Lincoln communities\, and SHAFR and SHGAPE\, and the ways that Lloyd’s interest in food aid influenced her direction as a scholar. Manfred Berg (the Curt Engelhorn Chair in American History at the University of Heidelberg)\, reports that Lloyd was the first U.S. scholar he met in person. In addition to discussing Lloyd’s support for scholars outside the United States\, he will discuss how Lloyd’s work on U.S.-German relations influenced his own work on that topic. Ross A. Kennedy\, Professor and Chair of the Department of History at Illinois State University\, will consider Lloyd’s contributions in relation to Arthur Link’s views of Wilson’s foreign policies. Julia Irwin\, the T. Harry Williams Professor of History at Louisiana State University\, will discuss the ways that Lloyd’s scholarship influenced her work on humanitarian relief and reflect on the ways that his research has helped her draw connections between the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
