Overview
To be led by Sven Beckert and Erez Manela of Harvard's History Department, this workshop will explore a theme much discussed of late, as calls have proliferated from many quarters for a more globalized history of North America. The workshop aims to bring together innovative research projects that go beyond the manifestos and begin to fill in the broad outlines of the global approach to the history of North America during the past 500 years. How do important events, themes, and episodes appear if we follow the strands of causes and consequences and trace networks of connections wherever they may lead around the globe, rather than stopping at the water's edge?
We seek to include a range of projects that locate the history of the United States and its colonial antecedents in a broader context, whether they emphasize the impact of the "outside world" on North American history, the influence of the United States on "other" histories, or combine both. We also expect to have a wide range of themes and approaches represented in the workshop, including cultural, economic, intellectual, political, and social history.
Eligibility
Warren Fellows participate in a seminar led by the workshop co-directors, presenting their work and discussing that of invited speakers. Applicants may not be degree candidates and should have a Ph.D. or equivalent. Fellows are Harvard University members with library access, and receive a private office which they must use for at least the nine-month academic year. Stipends are individually determined in accordance with each fellow's needs and the Center's resources. The Center encourages applications, otherwise consistent with the Workshop theme, relating to the nation's life during and as a consequence of wars, and from qualified applicants who can contribute, through their research and service, to the diversity and excellence of Harvard's academic community.
This application is due no later than January 15, 2010
