The Richards Center at Penn State and The Journal of the Civil War Era (JCWE) announce a journal
article workshop for advanced graduate students, recent PhDs, assistant professors, and independent
scholars. Selected scholars will provide a draft journal article by August 15, 2025, and
participate in an online workshop in September. The workshop will be facilitated by a senior
historian in the field, and the aim is to assist scholars in crafting a publishable article.
Although the workshop is cosponsored by the JCWE, participants are not obliged to submit articles
there.

Deadline for applications: April 1, 2025

To apply for the program, please submit the following materials as one pdf file to RichardsCenter@psu.edu.

1) Your C.V.
2) A proposal that includes title and brief (500-word) synopsis of the proposed article; explanation of where the piece currently stands and what kind of advice you would find most helpful.
