All of you interested in DC Studies are welcome to attend the 40th DC Historical Studies Conference starting this Thursday evening. In today's Post, John Kelly had a great piece about the conference and specifically about the keynote speaker Professor Kate Masur from Northwestern University, speaking on “Black Politics in Civil War Washington: What Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ Didn’t Tell You.” I'll be speaking about cooperatives on a DC Home Rule panel. There will also be a panel on gentrification in DC, as well as lots of panels about events much further back in DC's past. Here is the program for the entire conference.
Registration costs just $20 online ($25 at the door). You can register for the conference here: http://annualconferencedchistoricalstudies.wordpress.com/register-online/

On Friday and Saturday, the conference will be held all day at the Historical Society of DC (Carnegie Library, 801 K Street, NW).
