HASH HASH is a working
group for historians, graduate students, and other scholars in the
Houston area who are interested in the study of the American
South. Since 1988, HASH
meetings have been held two or three times per semester. Historians
from Rice University, the University of
Houston, the University of St. Thomas, the University
of Houston—Clear Lake, the University of Houston—Downtown,
Texas Southern University, Sam Houston State University, Texas A&M
University, and other area institutions gather
to discuss a paper on some aspect of the history
of the South. Time periods and specific topics vary. Copies of each
paper are distributed via email
well in advance of the meeting in
order to allow the time together to be used for discussion. For further information, or
to add your name to the HASH mailing list, you may contact the
organizers below. Also, please email if you are interested in
presenting a paper.
