WWII Emerging Scholars Symposium
The Eisenhower, Roosevelt, and Truman Presidential Libraries launched our inaugural emerging scholars symposium to commemorate D-Day in June 2021. This virtual symposium focuses on specialized topics related to the Allied effort during World War II. The 2021 theme is unsung heroes and lesser known subjects. 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 2022 theme emerges from famed World War II reporter Ernie Pyle’s work “Here Is Your War.” This symposium seeks to examine the reporting of the war from the front, news of home to those fighting, and war propaganda that helped unite the two. Our goal is to enhance the future of WWII scholarship by examining lesser-known topics and showcasing new and emerging scholars.
2022 Theme: "Here Is Your War: Military, Press, and Homefront Visions of War"
