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.
