Call for papers
New Medieval History Seminar
District of Columbia, United States
The German Historical Institute (GHI) in Washington is pleased to invite
applications for participation at our new annual seminar for German and American
doctoral candidates in medieval history. Its purpose is to discuss common
research problems and approaches, to encourage closer ties between German
and American medievalists and to foster intellectual exchange and collaboration.
Each year, we plan to invite eight Europeans and an equal number of Americans
to contribute seminar papers which will be predistributed and discussed at
a three-day meeting. The first seminar will be held at the GHI in Washington,
D.C., on October 25-28, 2001. Travel and lodging expenses will be covered
by the German Historical Instititute. Subsequent meetings will be in Europe
and the United States. Mentors for the seminar in 2001 will be: Michael Borgolte
(Humboldt University), Caroline Walker Bynum (Columbia University), Patrick
Geary (University of California, Los Angeles), Johannes Fried (University
of Frankfurt)
Participation is not limited to historians working on German history or
German-speaking regions of Europe. However, since papers and discussions
will be conducted both in German and English, the ability to read papers
in both languages is necessary. We are now accepting applications from doctoral
students who will not have finished their degree by October 2001. Applications
should include a short (ca. 3 pp.) project description, a curriculum vitae,
and a letter of reference from the main advisor. Please send applications
by May 1, 2001, to
