Junior Scholars Workshop

The Junior Scholars Workshop is a program to support and encourage advanced graduate students and recent graduates working in the field of southern history, as well as to provide a space for SHA members to connect outside of the annual meeting. All attendees are also welcome to ask questions in the chat as well as on camera.

The JSW convenes virtually on Zoom each month during the academic year. Meetings will be held at 4:30 PM ET on the third Thursday of the month. At each meeting, we discuss the work of an early career professional or an advanced graduate student, with two senior scholars on hand to provide detailed comments.

We’re pleased to announce that three new organizers will be leading the workshop next year (and all three are JSW alums!). Please welcome Amanda Kleintop, Caroline Newhall, and Tiffany Player!  

Presenters who are accepted to the 2025-26 JSW cohort will be expected to attend each of the monthly workshops throughout the academic year. This cohort system has served to enrich the JSW experience for presenters and attendees alike. Participants will be recognized at the 2025 annual meeting in St. Pete Beach. 
 
For the purposes of the JSW, "junior scholar" is defined as someone who has not yet published an academic monograph.
