Organized by the German History Society in co-operation with the German Historical Institutes London and Washington
Conveners: Bridget Heal (University of St Andrews), David Lederer (National University of Ireland, Maynooth), Angela Schattner (GHIL), and Jenny Spinks (University of Manchester)
Venue: German Historical Institute London
The day will be organized as a series of themed workshops, each introduced by a panel chair and consisting of two to three short papers followed by discussion. The point of the papers is to present new findings or work-in-progress in summary form, rather than extended detailed discussion. Accordingly, participants are encouraged to keep to 15 minutes, highlight major findings or questions, and indicate how work might develop in the future.
The workshop is sponsored by the German History Society and the German Historical Institute London in cooperation with the GHI Washington. Participation is free, including lunch. However, participants will have to bear costs for travel and accommodation themselves. Doctoral students from North America (USA and Canada) who wish to present at the workshop can apply for two travel funding grants provided by the GHI Washington. Please indicate your interest in this grant in your application.
Support for postgraduate and early career researchers from the United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland is available on a competitive basis, subject to eligibility requirements. Postgraduate members of the German Historical Society currently registered for a higher degree at a university in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland, and those who have completed a PhD within two years of the deadline for application but who have no other institutional sources of funding may apply for up to £150 for travel and accommodation expenses. Please see the GHS website for further information and application deadlines.
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please send a short synopsis and a CV by January 11, 2015 to Dr Angela Schattner, German Historical Institute, 17 Bloomsbury Square London, WC1A 2NJ.
All students and academic researchers interested in Early Modern German History are very welcome to attend. There is no charge for attendance but due to limited space booking is essential. Please RSVP to Carole Sterckx or Angela Schattner.
