GSO - Graduate History Association

The Graduate History Association at UMass Amherst is dedicated to promoting education, facilitating academic progress and offering professional support to the graduate students of the History Department, in addition to fostering a sense of community within the department. Interested graduate students are encouraged to join in meetings, events, and activities!

General GHA meetings are generally held on a monthly basis (or more often, depending on necessity). Attendance is encouraged and appreciated!

Our biggest event of the year is the UMass Graduate Student History Conference. Each year, the GHA holds a Conference open to graduate students from across the nation and from a variety of disciplines. This is a great opportunity for grads to present their work to a broader audience and for undergraduates, faculty, and the general public to see what research is going on out there. Fundraising for this event includes our Spring Book and Bake sale. Usually held in late February. 

 Be on the look out for news and notifications regarding these events!
