24th annual University of Maine-University of New Brunswick History Graduate Student Conference
On March 27-29, 2026, several 91¸£Àû History graduate students travelled to Fredericton, New Brunswick for the 24th annual University of Maine-University of New Brunswick History Graduate Student Conference. Dr. Mark McLaughlin, cross-appointed between the Canadian-American Center and the History Department (also the History Graduate Coordinator), drove up a van full of the graduate students. Dr. McLaughlin also gave the conference keynote, titled Blurring the Lines: Comic Books and Political Ecology in the Post-Second World War Northeast Borderlands. All of the graduate students’ conference papers were well received, and it was a great opportunity for them to connect with their Canadian counterparts. It will be 91¸£Àû’s turn to host the conference in the spring of 2027.
