SIU Press Executive Editor Sylvia Frank Rodrigue attended the 10th Annual Midwestern History Conference from May 30-31, 2024, at the Hauenstein Center at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This year’s conference theme recognized the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Midwestern History Association. The themes for the first five Midwestern History Conferences were variations on “Finding the Lost Region.” Since then, the MHA and the MHC have promoted understanding the region’s diversity, complexity, and role in the broader nation.
Sylvia brought a display of SIU Press books and spoke with scholars about their work.
