About Shifting Tides

The Shifting Tides History Conference is an annual graduate history conference organized this year by the SFU History in collaboration with the History Departments at the University of Victoria, the University of Northern British Columbia, and the University of British Columbia. The conference has emerged as an interdisciplinary forum where graduate and senior undergraduate students in History and related fields present their research to colleagues from other institutions across the Pacific Northwest and North America.

We invite proposals on all topics, regions, and time periods. Talks are usually 15 minutes long followed by audience partcipation.

SFU History looks forward to welcoming everyone to Shifting Tides 2026!
