On behalf of the Ohio Seminar in Early American History we are pleased to announce our upcoming autumn schedule. Our program kicks off Friday, September 29 at 1:30pm eastern, when we will discuss Michael Blaakman’s new book Speculation Nation in a moderated Q&A via Zoom (If you would like to read the book before the seminar, Michael has provided a discount code, PENN-MABLAAKMAN30). Register here.

The Ohio Seminar provides a forum for scholars examining topics in early American history broadly conceived. Scholars from all over gather via Zoom to discuss ongoing research in a workshop format, and we welcome all faculty and students with an interest in early American studies. Specific details will be distributed prior to each seminar via our website. Anyone with questions regarding these sessions should contact Lindsay Schakenbach Regele.
