WWII Emerging Scholars Symposium
The Eisenhower, Roosevelt, and Truman Presidential Libraries host an annual emerging scholars symposium to commemorate D-Day. This virtual symposium focuses on specialized topics related to the Allied effort during World War II. Each program wraps up with a Scholar Spotlight where we get to know a little bit more about each of these up and coming scholars.
The 2023 theme is in-line with our overarching program annual theme of “Difficult Decisions.” This symposium seeks to explore decisions influencing World War II not related to combat strategy and tactics. Our goal is to enhance the future of WWII scholarship by examining lesser-known topics and showcasing new and emerging scholars.
2023 Theme: Difficult Decisions: Beyond the Battlefield
Submission packets should include the presentation abstract, applicant contact information, education status and academic goals summary.
