The Sultan al-Qasimi Department of Department held its 14th annual History Day at AUC’s Excellence in Undergraduate Research, Entrepreneurship, and Creative Achievement (EURECA) on March 31, 2026 during which 17 students presented original research based on primary sources. The student conference, organized by Professor Michael Reimer, who founded History Day 14 years ago, explored a wide range of historical themes spanning the globe from Africa to Asia to the Middle East and covering topics ranging from Zionism and the Arab-Israeli conflict to oil and politics in Iran to colonization in the Congo to the history of seaweed in Japan. Together, the presentations highlighted the interconnectedness of political developments, global forces, and everyday life across different regions and time periods. Students are mentored by History Department faculty who chair the panels and help them turn research papers into conference presentations in which they hone their writing, research and public speaking skills.
