UPDATE!! 📣 A note from our editors about submissions for our Summer 2022 edition and further opportunities to get involved with Past Tense!

We are thrilled to share the ninth volume of Past Tense Graduate Review of History!

“As historians seek to uncover the diverse voices of the American Revolution, many have turned their attention to the role of religious identity in the American war for independence. While scholars of American religion have identified the Great Awakening as a source of revolutionary sentiment among colonists, few have addressed the differences between different Christian traditions, especially among lower-class farmers.”

📣 We've extended our Call for Papers for the Summer 2022 issue of Past Tense!
