Proposals due: April 1, 2025: accepted on a rolling basis (no limit on participants)

The Juanita Brooks Conference, a platform that values and promotes diverse histories and cultures of Utah and the American West, eagerly awaits your poster submissions. We extend this invitation to scholars and students across various fields, including environmental history, American religion, women’s history, and Native American studies. Your contributions should be related to subjects significant to the states associated with Juanita Brooks’ life and scholarship—Utah, Idaho, Arizona, and Nevada.

Posters should meet the following requirements (adapted from the American Historical Association):

• Readable from 5 to 10 feet
• Use at least a 48-point font for titles and a 36-point font for body text and tables
• Text should be no more than 800 words
• Please print on 36” x 24” foamboard

Conference organizers will provide materials to display each poster. After the poster sessions, we will give participating students $50 to reimburse them for any expenses.
