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.
