Annual Events
American Discoveries
This annual series brings a noted U.S. historian to HPU to work with students on the practice of history. Speakers typically discuss an aspect of their research in a small seminar with students and deliver a public lecture. Previous guests have included Professors Beth Bailey (Temple University), Megan Kate Nelson (Brown University), Michael Willrich (Brandeis University) and Karin Wulf (College of William and Mary).
Rothenberg Seminar
Named for Gunther E. Rothenberg, a world-renowned military historian who authored scores of books and articles on a wide range of military history, this seminar is a tribute to Rothenberg’s scholarship and dedication to the field of military history. The HPU Department of History sponsors the annual seminar, which offers a different theme each year and features a host of leading scholars who present their most recent research and latest interpretations. Previous speakers have included Professors J.D. Avenel, Jeremy Black, Robert Citino and Huw Davies.
Historical Gaming Club
Many students gather weekly in Dr. Schneid’s office to play historical themed games. Bring a friend and come! No experience necessary.
Additional Programs
The Department also frequently hosts additional programs for students and the community.
Each year, the department partners with Winston-Salem’s Bookmarks festival to bring a noted historical author to campus. In the past few years, we have had the pleasure of hearing Karen Abbott, author of Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War and Kevin Maurer, author of No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden.
In 2015, we hosted the annual meeting of the Consortium on the Revolutionary Era, which brought more than one hundred historians and scholars to HPU.
