GREENVILLE, Pa.-- Thiel College Assistant Professor of History Jay Donis, Ph.D. recently presented at the Pennsylvania Historical Association meeting and the Omohundro Institute’s annual conference in October, 2022.
This year, the annual PHA meeting was held at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pa., from Oct. 13-15 and was themed, “Health and Resiliency in the Commonwealth and Mid-Atlantic.” At the meeting, Donis presented a paper alongside a panel of scholars that he had assembled. His paper, “‘The Government of Virginia will not protect me… the laws of Pennsylvania have not as yet taken us under their protection,’ Statelessness on the Revolutionary Frontier,” responded directly to the panel’s theme, “Authority and Political Health in Early Pennsylvania.”
Two weeks later, Donis traveled to Williamsburg, Va., for the first in a series of national conferences investigating the 250th anniversary of American independence in 1776. The conference took place on Oct. 28-29, and was put together by The College of William & Mary, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Omohundro Institute. Responding to the conference’s theme of “Revolutionary Legacies,” Donis’ paper, “‘Let us know to whom we belong’: Stateless Americans on a Revolutionary Frontier,” had similar ideas to the one he presented at the PHA meeting and both of them drew on research from his dissertation.
