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
