Dissertation Seminar in Modern British History, May 19-June 30, 2010
With the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Prof. Susan Pedersen will be offering a seminar for graduate students in the process of completing dissertations in the field of Modern British, or British imperial, history. The seminar will meet twice weekly for seven weeks. There will be a set of introductory sessions discussing recent work in British political, imperial, cultural and social history. Much of the seminar will then be devoted to presentations by the seminar members, although there will also be several sessions on teaching and publishing. Visiting faculty, participants from the 2007 seminar, and book and journal editors, will come in to discuss their own strategies for teaching, hiring, and publishing. Read more
