The Center for Early Modern History and the Center for Medieval Studies are looking for helping hands. We are hiring two 50%-time Graduate Assistants for Academic Year 2021-2022 to support Center programming and activities.
Graduate students conducting dissertation or pre-dissertation research in premodern studies are encouraged to apply for a Union Pacific Research Grant. Grant resources are distributed in summer 2021 and can be used to support work between 15 May 2021 and 15 April 2022.
The Center for Early Modern History invites you to join us for our fall virtual lecture series, Panic and Plague in 1720 & 2020: The View from Minnesota. The series begins at noon on Friday, September 18, 2020.
Applications for IDFs for the 2021-2022 school year are now OPEN. Applications are due to CEMH/CMS via premod@umn.edu by Monday, October 19. If you are interested in partnering with the centers, start a conversation with the directors about your project and identifying potential mentors.
In spring 2021, the Consortium for the Study of the Premodern World (CSPW) will provide funding for five to six graduate students beginning their dissertation research to participate in the CSPW Dissertation Fellowship Program. The goal of the weekly workshop is to help doctoral students early in their dissertation projects think about their work in comparative, premodern, global, and interdisciplinary ways. This is not a credit-bearing course.
