Muster Call for Graduate Student Submissions

The Society of Civil War Historians’ Graduate Student Connection Committee, together with Muster, the blog of The Journal of the Civil War Era, is calling for submissions from graduate students.

Muster’s goal is to foster connections between The Journal of the Civil War Era and its readers, building relationships and offering stimulating conversations about American history in the period between 1820 and 1880. It provides an online space to explore new ideas, discuss relevant issues in the field, and connect with other scholars and enthusiasts. Muster seeks to publish work on slavery and emancipation, the sectional conflict, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, including works that focus on gender, politics, social history, and military history.

Submissions to Muster should be roughly 1500 words, on a subject of your choosing. For example, your piece could focus on your research, sources you have uncovered, or any other ideas you have related to the history of the US Civil War era.

Any questions should be referred to Dr. Robert D. Bland, editor of Muster, at rbland4@utk.edu.
