'Managing Scandal in The White House'

The Department of History at Mississippi State University, in conjunction with the university's Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library and the Presidential History Network, is hosting a two-day symposium to analyze the history and memory of American presidential scandals.

Scholars from all disciplines are encouraged to submit paper proposals investigating the ways in which scandal has been: 
• managed or mismanaged by presidents and administration staff 
• shaped by the history of the era 
• prosecuted in the court of public opinion 
• depicted in popular culture or historiography 
• interpreted by international onlookers 

The symposium will begin with a keynote address by Bruce J. Schulman, William E. Huntington professor of history at Boston University.

Admission is free and open to the public.
