CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES
 
Following the main conference panels on Saturday morning, and before the Paper Prize Reception at 3:30pm, we have organized events that give attendees an opportunity for a guided look inside the Center for Great Plains Studies; attend a lively discussion on the burgeoning field of digital humanities organized by individuals who work at UNL’s Center for Digital Research in the Humanities; participate in the 2020 Lincoln Women’s March to the Nebraska State Capitol building; or take time to unwind from a productive day in the UNL Union.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Other options include a short walk to the Nebraska State History Museum to see their Women’s History Month exhibit, or visit the renowned Sheldon Museum of Art located on the campus of UNL.

You are not required to register ahead of time. Feel free to ask the conference organizers for suggestions about which event might suit you!
