FM xii INTRODUCTION &ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This reference guide intends to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive survey of the field of US history at universities and non-university institutions across Europe, helping scholars and students alike to answers questions such as: What kinds of institutions support this field? Who is involved and what topics are they researching? What types of opportunities are available for undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate studies? What types of research facilities exist? In addition to serving as a tool for gathering such information, the guide also has as a principal goal encouraging and deepening contact and cooperation among scholars throughout the European continent, especially in the emerging EU- member states, as well as across continental boundaries. The guide is also available online, where previous entries can be updated and new entries created, at the following URL: http://americanhistory.ghi-dc.org/. The need for such a guide can be tied to the rapid development of US history in Europe as a discrete academic discipline after World War II. Prior to the intensification of US-European relations in the postwar period, European study of the US and Canada most commonly took the form of literary studies. The emergence and expansion of university programs and research institutions specifically dedicated to American history proceeded apace with the growing importance of the US as an in- dispensable global actor during the Cold War and as contact between North America and Europe grew ever more intense. The result today is an abundance of distinguished institutions across Europe dedicated to the study of North American, particularly US, history. The present reference guide seeks to impart a picture of the European scholarly land- scape in all its depth and variety to the interested reader in a convenient and easily accessible fashion. Models of similar reference compilations in Germany are the Vademe- kum der Geschichtswissenschaft,1 which contains information on German historical scholarship in general, and the Directory of European Historians of North America,2 which focuses on American historical scholarship in

1 Vademekum der Geschichtswisenschaften: Verbände, Organisationen, Gesellschaften, Vereine, In- stitute, Seminare, Lehrstühle, Bibliotheken, Archive, Museen, Dienststellen, Ämter, Verlage und Zeitschriften sowie Historiker in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz, 6th ed. (Stuttgart: Franz Steiner Verlag, 2004–2005). 2 Willi Paul Adams and Wolfgang J. Helbich, eds., Directory of European Historians of North America: Addresses, Publications, Research in Progress, 3d rev. ed. (Berlin: JFK Institut f. Nordamerikastudien, 1994). 2 Reference Guide No. 23

Europe. That directory, unlike this guide however, is arranged by—and thus limited to information on—individual scholars. Our data are drawn from an online questionnaire sent to well over eight hundred institutions throughout greater Europe, including history, English, American studies, and in some cases even economics and political science departments of nearly every university, numerous non- university public and private institutes for research and academic culture, as well as all US embassies and consulates. We also contacted the regional and national associations for American studies for assistance in getting word on the guide out and, in some cases, distributing the survey. It should be mentioned that historians of the United States are usually members of these national and regional associations and, being a rather small subset, do not have their own associations. Within the European Association of American Studies (EAAS), however, there is a subgroup of American historians who meet biannually at the Roosevelt Study Center in Middleburg, The Netherlands. The questionnaire we distributed comprised nine sections. It was designed to offer sufficient space for free expression in order to best encap- sulate the unique nature of each institution. All the sections and subsec- tions of the questionnaire are listed here because many of the institutions could only provide information on some of the points and only a very few were able to fill out all categories: I. General Information (official nameof institution, affiliation to a greater institution, street address and mailing address, central telephone number and fax number, institutional website and e-mail address, current director or head of department, manager, contact person for general information); II. History (past directors, founding date, general description or mission); III. Staff (professors, assistant and associate professors, research fellows, visiting fellows, teaching assistants); IV. Research (current research projects at institutional level, current research projects of individual staff members); V. Publications (book series put out by the institution including topics of US history, journals dealing with US history); VI. Programs of Study (degree programs with US history as a requirement, eligibility requirements, duration, tuition and fees); VII. Scholarships (list of special scholarships for staff or students offered by institution); VIII. Events (lecture series, colloquia, conferences); IX. Research Facilities (library collections, size, description). We originally did not place any limits on who could participate, rather leaving it open to participants to decide how relevant their institutions are to US history. We received a flood of useful responses, most of which were accepted for publication while some were not. From the pool of entries we painstakingly removed those institutions with no research or North American History in Europe 3 teaching specifically in the field of US history—for example, those Ameri- can studies or English departments focusing mainly on (non-historical) literature and linguistics—as much as we appreciate their effort in the project.3 The entries nonetheless still reflect a broad array of involvement in the field as we did retain entries for institutions that “only” offer a survey course in the field, which is the case in some new and non-EU countries. As much as possible, we cross-referenced and verified entries and added others from appropriate institutions that did not respond—of which there were many. In such cases we were often limited to information available on the internet in a language we understand. Some entries, for these and for other reasons, do not fully reflect the scale of the discipline at a given institution. Nor is the compilation of institutions listed here by any means exhaustive. The resulting entries are organized alphabetically by country and then by city. We have appended this information with lists of all national and regional associations of American studies in Europe, the publications of these associations, and the Fulbright Commissions in Europe. On a final note, such a project can only be as comprehensive and accurate as input from scholars in the field allows. The ongoing changes within the academic field of US history do require steady updating of the data; just over the eighteen-month course of the data collection process, we received several revisions of entries. We therefore encourage users to update their entries online (http://americanhistory.ghi-dc.org/)sothe guide may remain useful and current. *** A project on this scale requires the participation of many individuals. We would like to thank especially Christof Mauch and Dirk Schumann at the GHI for supporting the guide from its conception and enabling its realization. We also greatly appreciate the input we received in the conceptual and trial stages from Norbert Finzsch, Phillip Gassert, Wolfgang Helbich, and Michael Wala. We give a special thanks to Christa Brown at the GHI, who fielded wayward responses to us, and also to Keith Alex- ander and Chris Wiley, who offered their experience with similar endeavors. Furthermore, the work of Denise Roberts and the team at CSI CyberServices, Inc. of Vienna, Virginia, who put the survey live on the Internet and provided the necessary technical support, was also invalu- able.

3 While the field of American studies is much broader than that of US history and certainly would have produced a much thicker guide, our guide’s focus on the latter more closely reflects the agenda of the German Historical Institute in Washington. 4 Reference Guide No. 23

We would also like to thank the national representatives of the EAAS historians for allowing us to present this project at one of their meetings at the Roosevelt Study Center, as well as all the board members and members of the EAAS and national associations of American studies who helped distribute the survey, get the word out, and provide leads on other organizations that might participate in the survey. Last but not least, we extend our unending gratitude to all the persons who, despite overloaded schedules and an occasional technical difficulty, persevered in filling out the lengthy questionnaire. We appreciate your effort and enthusiasm for this project.

EVENTS Lecture Series American Foreign Policy and the International System in the Age of Globalization This series provides an overview of American foreign policy and the international system in the post-Cold War era. It reviews major issues in American foreign policy since 1989 (i.e., issues that arose during the administrations of George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush), and it draws on theoretical literature in the field of international relations to assess the role of the United States in the international system. Par- ticular emphasis is given to cases of military intervention (and non- North American History in Europe 15 intervention), including the war in Iraq, to the role of NATO as both a military alliance and a community of democratic states, to terrorism and nuclear proliferation, and to foreign economic policy in the age of globalization.

ASSISTANT & ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS Vagn Wåhlin, Department of History

RESOURCE FACILITIES The ASCA American Studies Library includes thousand of volumes covering diverse aspects of American literature, history, society, politics, media, language, and culture. The ASCA Library is one of a limited number of sites around the world to house a set of the American Studies Collection. The Collection, designed specifically for university libraries outside the United States, was created by an endowment fund established by the United States Congress and assembled with the assistance of the Organization of American Historians and the American Council of Learned Societies. Acquired by ASCA with the support of the US Infor- mation Service in Copenhagen, the Collection is intended to promote understanding of the United States abroad. It comprises 1,300 volumes including the Documents of Democracy series, 100 volumes of primary documents, and private papers of key historical figures. 20 Reference Guide No. 23

The ASCA Library also holds an extensive collection of videotaped material relating to the study of the United States, among them the former video collection of the US Information Service Library at the American Embassy, Copenhagen. This collection of thousands of hours of material includes programs on many aspects of American life, historical and contemporary. In addition, the Library holds a small but diverse and high-quality collection of slides, called the American History Slide Collection. Over 2,000 slides cover such topics as Native Americans, the West, exploration, presidential politics and electoral campaigns, race and ethnicity, gender, urban and rural America, labor and industry, transportation, advertising, dissent, and American wars.

HISTORY & RESEARCH In 1992 the Center for American Studies, the first such center in Denmark, was established at what today is the University of Southern Denmark (formerly Odense University). With the founding of the Center for Ameri- can Studies, the first Danish chair in American studies was established, with David Nye being appointed professor. He still holds that position today. At the same time, a Fulbright chair was created in Odense that since 1992 has been occupied by twelve American academics from within the fields of history, literature, and political science. In 2003, the Center for American Studies expanded from a research unit into a teaching unit, also now boasting Denmark’s only full-fledged MA program in American Studies. The Center for American Studies is the largest such center in Denmark, presently employing seven VIPs (four in history and three in literature). The various VIPs take turns in acting as directors of the Center for American Studies, with the three most recent directors having been Professor David Nye, Associate Professor Jørn Brøndal, and (presently) Associate Professor Jan Nordby Gretlund. Current and former research deals with the cultural history of energy in the US since 1940; transatlantic dialogs on cosmopolitan human rights; Robert M. La Follette and the Wisconsin Idea; the Civil Rights Movement; Realist and Republican legacies in American intellectual history; time, place, and citizenship in American political discourse; and the cultural geography of the Tennessee Valley. 22 Reference Guide No. 23

PUBLICATIONS The Center publishes the journals OASIS: Odense American Studies Inter- national Series, which was founded in 1992 and is edited by David Nye, and American Studies in Scandinavia (the official journal of the Nordic Association for American Studies), which is edited by Per Winther.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY The Center offers a four-semester MA degree in American Studies, which is Denmark’s only such degree program. The program consists of a number of courses and seminars in American history and literature as well as in the theory and method of American studies. Eligibility requirements include a BA degree in English or history. Students with BA degrees in other fields are admitted on the basis of, first, their level of experience with American history and literature and, second, their English-language proficiency. Danish students pay no tuition or fees. The Center also offers a six-semester PhD. PhD students are admitted on a highly selective basis, with the number of PhD students participating in the American studies program at any one time averaging two (presently one history student and one literature student). In Denmark, PhD students are salaried members of the faculty. In theory, and under certain circumstances, there is also the possibility of paying one’s way through the PhD program, yet this has never been the case at the Center for American Studies and is rarely seen in Denmark. Eligibility requirements include a MA degree; in practice, only MAs with exceptionally good academic credentials are admitted to the PhD program. North American History in Europe 23

It is also possible to earn a full-fledged doctorate (Dr. phil.) in Ameri- can History, American Literature, or American Studies. Presently, three of the seven VIPs at the Center for American Studies hold the traditional Danish doctoral degree. The degree is mostly taken by researchers who already enjoy full employment at the Center for American Studies.

SCHOLARSHIPS Student exchanges are arranged by the Fulbright Commission (the United States) and the Socrates/Erasmus program (Europe). Visiting and guest professorships are offered through the Fulbright Commission and the Socrates/Erasmus program (on a short-term inter- European basis).

EVENTS Lecture Series Named after a former cultural attaché at the US Embassy in Copenhagen, the Rankine-Galloway Address is an annual event at which a scholar of truly international standing within the field of literature, history, or political science gives a lecture. The lecture series is co-sponsored by the US Embassy in Copenhagen and the Center for American Studies. Among past speakers have been Leo Marx, Alan Trachtenberg, and John Milton Cooper, Jr.

Prof. Nigel Turner, Head of Department

HISTORY & RESEARCH The Anglo-American Studies Department of the University Paris 12—Val de Marne was founded in 1970 by Jean Rivière, a specialist in American economics. American history was included from the start in the curriculum and Catherine Collomp, now professor at Paris 7, was closely associated from the start in the teaching of American history. She started a research center in American history, CESAM (Centre d’Etudes sur l’Amérique du Nord), which lasted until 1999. When Michèle Gibault took over the position, she created in 2000 a new research center in American history, APSAM (Anthropologie politique et sociale de l’Amérique du Nord). APSAM is now part of IMAGER (Institut des mondes anglophone, germanophone et roman), which was founded in 2005. Current and former research deals with civil rights and justice; liberalism and the individual in the early American republic; realism in Hol- lywood cinema; representations of African-American women; interracial couples in the 1960s; and identity construction and collective action.

HISTORY & RESEARCH One of Germany’s “new universities,” the University of Bamberg was founded in the late 1970s. The first chair of early modern history, Prof. Dr. Eberhard Schmitt, specialized in the French Revolution and the history of European expansion in the early modern period. Among other activities, he edited a multi-volume Documentary History of European Ex- pansion (Dokumente zur Geschichte der europäischen Expansion, 5 vols. to date) and established a foundation dedicated to research in the comparative history of European overseas expansion (Forschungsstiftung für vergleichende europäische Überseegeschichte). Prof. Dr. Mark Häberlein, who succeeded Eberhard Schmitt in early 2004, also specializes in Euro- pean overseas expansion, in particular the religious and social history of colonial British America as well as trade and cross-cultural contact in the early modern world. Current and former research deals with congregational life and religious diversity in Lancaster, Pennsylvania (1730–1820); non-Europeans in early modern Europe; and documentary work on government and administration in European colonies (1450–1830).

PROGRAMS OF STUDY The Institute offers a two-year interdisciplinary MA in North American studies with a workload of 120 credit points. It rests on three pillars: a major subject as a core discipline in which students write their MA thesis; another major subject; and an accompanying interdisciplinary training course that deals with theoretical and methodological questions relating to the field of North American studies in general. Students take six classes in their two major subjects, three for each subject, and a further three from the interdisciplinary study program. The interdisciplinary courses on theory and methodology address questions of cultural exchange and transfer by exploring the relevant theoretical approaches from the various subdisciplines that are part of the MA program. Eligibility requirements include a BA or equivalent degree in a field relevant to the MA and sufficient knowledge of German, English, and French or Spanish (based on aptitude tests).

SCHOLARSHIPS Research grant: Grants of one to three months for graduate students and scholars with a permanent European residence to use the holdings of the Institute’s library.

Visiting professorship: Every other semester, the Institute hosts visiting professors in different fields of Canadian Studies.

EVENTS Lecture Series In the Distinguished Ernst Fraenkel Lecture Series esteemed scholars from all the fields taught at the Institute are invited to Berlin. The series is sponsored by the Thyssen Foundation and the Free University. The Institute also hosts a lecture series on Canada, in which weekly lectures are given by Canadian and German specialists on topics of Ca- nadian history, politics, and society. The Canadian Lecture is sponsored by the Canadian Embassy.

HISTORY & RESEARCH The Professorship for Social History of North America, Migration Re- search, was created in 1977 and was held by Prof. Dirk Hoerder until 2004, when he took a permanent leave of absence. The professorship is anchored both in the history and the English departments and serves students of both majors. For students of English, courses in North Ameri- can (or British) history are obligatory. Dirk Hoerder garnered several research grants by the VW Foundation and the DFG and instituted large research projects on international migration and labor history, through which several research fellows and assistants were funded. An assistant professorship, created in 1995, was canceled in 2001. The Professorship for North American History itself will only be funded until the end of 2006. After that, the University of Bremen, despite the long and close connections between the city and the United States, will cancel the professorship, opting instead to invest in Latin American history. Current and former research deals with the transfer of cultural prac- tices and norms in international comparison; social problems of German immigrants to Toronto; national historiography in German states as a tool for excluding Africans (1500–1888); and university reforms in the United States and Germany (1953–1977).

This involves explaining US society and policies to German audiences representing a variety of political and economic institutions. The Cologne office also works with educational and cultural institutions to provide information about the American political system or new cultural or social developments. These goals are accomplished through a regular series of discussions with US experts, through exchange programs, press briefings, the information resource and reference service, and through arranging or supporting cultural events. Opened in 1955 on the site where Germany’s first Chancel- lor, Konrad Adenauer, attended school, the Amerika Haus Cologne has served as a “window to America” for half a century, adjusting its program activities with the changing demands of the times.

HISTORY & RESEARCH “Transformation Studies—Societal Changes in Periphery and Core” is an interdisciplinary study and research program at the University of Han- nover. It represents a joint endeavor of the Departments of American Studies, History, Political Science, Religious Science, and Sociology. This interdisciplinary cooperation allows the program to focus on both the causes and problems associated with transformative relationships between industrialized countries, traditionally referred to as “core countries,” and non-industrialized countries, or “periphery countries.” We believe that maintaining a focus on the mutual exchange between “core” and “periphery” yields greater insights into past and present transitions in both regions, which may in turn generate solutions to problems of international relations in the twenty-first century. Thanks to long- established research areas at the participating institutes, special attention is given to Africa and Latin America/the Caribbean. Other regions of interest are the Turkish and Iranian corridor. Students enrolled at the participating departments can specialize in “Transformation Studies” during their graduate program, and they will receive a certificate in addition to their MA or diploma. Courses are taught in German and En- glish. Current and former research deals with melodrama in American history from early America to Hollywood and the ANC and the USA in the era of Apartheid. 78 Reference Guide No. 23

FULL PROFESSORS Ruth Mayer E-mail: [email protected] Area of expertise: New American Studies PROGRAMS OF STUDY A four-semester certificate in Transformation Studies is offered where students enrolled in the Departments of American Studies, History, Law, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Science, or Sociology can specialize in “Transformation Studies” (TrS) during their graduate program (after the intermediate exams).

HISTORY & RESEARCH In January 2002 a group of Heidelberg professors and administrators set up an interdisciplinary initiative with the aim of establishing the HCA. The most important expression of their efforts was a new postgraduate studies program: the Master of Arts in American Studies (MAS). To raise public awareness of its activities, the HCA initiative organized its first public lecture series, “Typically American,” during the winter term 2002/ 03, which soon attracted a broad audience. After one year of planning, the HCA opened a small office in May 2003. The HCA carried on with developing the conceptual design of the MAS and the initial layout for future research projects and conferences. Ten departments from six faculties committed themselves to the program: American Literature, Eco- nomics, Geography, History, Musicology, Philosophy, Political Science, Law, Religious Studies, and Sociology. Further administrative initiatives were underway when the HCA began organizing the second series of its “Typically American” lectures spanning the winter semester 2003/04. In December 2003, the HCA moved into its new premises in Heidelberg’s beautiful Weststadt. In April 2004 the HCA hosted its first conference, the HCA Spring Academy 2004 on American History, Culture, and Politics. The HCA Spring Academy has become a yearly event and is already succeeding in its principal aim of establishing an international network of PhD students in the field of American Studies. In the spring of 2004 the University of Heidelberg and the Ministry of Science, Research, and the Arts of the State of Baden-Württemberg approved the regulations gov- erning the new MAS as well as the statute of the HCA. On October 20, 82 Reference Guide No. 23

2004, the HCA was officially inaugurated as a central academic institution of the University of Heidelberg. Simultaneously, the first class of the MAS program enrolled. In January 2005 the HCA’s Board of Directors convened for the first time and in June 2006 the HCA’s Board of Trustees was established. Since spring 2006 the HCA has hosted the research project “European Protest Movements since the Cold War. The Rise and Fall of a (Trans-) National Civil Society and the Transformation of the Public Sphere,” supported by the Marie Curie Program for the Promotion of Scientific Excellence by the European Union and co-developed and coordinated by HCA Fellow Dr. Martin Klimke. In May 2006, following the generous dedication of a baroque town house in the old city center of Heidelberg by Curt Engelhorn, the HCA moved into its new home, the Curt and Heidemarie Engelhorn Palais. October 2006 saw three important events in the recent development of the HCA. From October 5 to 8, the HCA hosted its first major international conference entitled “State and Market in a Globalized World: Transatlantic Perspectives.” Also in October 2006, the HCA’s second class of the MAS program graduated. Simultaneously, the third class enrolled and the HCA inaugurated its new PhD program in American Studies. Current and former research deals with nineteenth-century immigration and acculturation; state and market; state and religion; US-GDR relations; the life of John Jacob Astor; twentieth-century US media; Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and the vampire genre; and minorities in the New York City school system.

Until then Ameri- can studies had been part of the English Institute in the Department of Literatures and Languages. Before 1993 (i.e., during the GDR), however, American history was taught as part of the required curriculum in teachers’ education. Before 1990, Prof. Dr. Heinz Förster taught introductory and advanced courses in American history. Between 1990 and 1994 Ful- bright scholars helped out until the current historian, Prof. Dr. Hartmut Keil, began teaching American history in the fall of 1994. Four doctoral theses were completed or have been begun since then, and more than 80 MA theses have been completed. Fulbright guest professors have contributed to the history program. These include holders of the Leipzig Chair in American Studies, which the German-American Fulbright Com- mission granted to the Institute for a five-year period beginning in the fall of 2003. For five years, a Fulbright Lecture Series during each summer semester has also contributed substantially to teaching American history in Leipzig. Current and former research deals with race relations between Ger- man immigrants and African Americans in the antebellum period; the emergence of consumer culture in the US; the boundary functions of law, commerce, and communication in a transatlantic context; American students at the University of Leipzig and their impact on American higher education; perceptions of Native Americans in Nazi Germany; Francis Lieber’s attitude on race, slavery, and abolition; the correspondence of F.

Prof. Dr. Christof Mauch, Director

HISTORY & RESEARCH The America Institute of Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich is home to two programs in American Studies: American cultural history and the history of American literature. It was founded in 1949 and is the oldest institute of its kind in Germany. Ever since its founding, the Insti- tute has set itself apart from similar institutions at other universities in two ways: first, it established American studies as its own distinct discipline and, second, it has and continues to employ a broad interdisciplinary approach in its teaching and research that is founded upon intensive engagement with the culture and society of the US. From the founding of the Institute in 1949 until the establishment of a chair in American cultural history in 1953, courses on offer were taught by leading American guest professors and lecturers. Approximately 90 visiting professors from North America have since been active at the America Institute. The America Institute is the only institute in Germany that maintains three tenured positions in North American History—two full professorships and one associate professorship. In addition, several assistant professors as well as more than half a dozen adjunct professors teach North Ameri- can History at the Institute. Furthermore, the America Institute maintains close ties with the Bavarian-American Academy and the Amerika-Haus. The three institutes have jointly organized many lectures and lecture series as well as international conferences. Current and former research deals with film and media history; environmental history; religion in the US; minorities; the civil rights movement; the American South; westernization and Americanization during the Cold War; American music and popular culture; and global history.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY: The Institute offers a MA in either American cultural history or the history of American literature, either of which can be completed independently or in combination with the other. While both courses of study principally focus on the US, Canada and the Caribbean are dealt with as well. The program in American cultural history, while covering the fun- damentals of the social, political, and cultural history of the US, focuses on the investigation of contemporary problems and trends. The program has a strong interdisciplinary and comparative component, whereby American history is compared with European and, in particular, German history. Further areas of focus include cultural anthropology, immigration, social, intellectual, and religious history as well as film and popular culture. At the center of the program in the history of American literature lies critical discussion of literary texts from the early writings of the colonial period to the multiplicity of contemporary American literature. The program’s aim is to place American literature (and literary theory) in the context of the historical, social, and cultural conditions of its produc- tion and reception. Particular attention is also devoted to the history and theory of gender and ethnic identity as central aspects of American culture and society. Further areas of focus include contemporary verse, 92 Reference Guide No. 23 theory, and art of the avantgarde as well as the relationship between word and image in various media, particularly film. Upon successful completion of either program and with the approval of the responsible professor, students who obtain the MA may continue working toward a PhD (Promotion). RESEARCH FACILITIES The Institute’s library houses more than 60,000 volumes pertaining to American history. North American History in Europe 93

Tel: +36 (1) 3273000 Website: http://www.ceu.hu/hist/index.htm Sorin Natohi, Head of Department HISTORY & RESEARCH Following a unanimous Senate decision, endorsed by the Board of Trust- ees at their recent meeting, the CEU School of History and Interdiscipli- nary Historical Studies was established. The School brings together the Departments of History and Medieval Studies, the Nationalism Studies Program and Pasts, Inc. Institute of Historical Studies, as well as other research centers and programs related to the three teaching units. In addition to endorsing the Senate decision, the Board hailed this development as one that illustrates CEU’s commitment to strengthen interdisciplinarity while building leaner administrative structures. The Board asked the administration to convey to the faculty of the new School their best wishes of success and expressed the hope that other CEU units will follow this example. Sorin Antohi, Head of the Department of History, was appointed Head of the School, for a two-year period, with immediate effect.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY The Department of History offers a doctoral program, registered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department, in the Compara- tive History of Central, Southeastern, and Eastern Europe (within a wider European context). Accreditation by the Hungarian Accreditation Com- mittee is in progress. PhD research at the CEU Department of History should be innovative insofar as the topic is concerned as well as at the theoretical and methodological levels. The Department especially welcomes students with PhD projects that contribute to: the integration of the study of different layers of historical processes (social, cultural, economic, political); the integration of history and theory (conscious reflection on the basic approaches of research); comparative approaches in historiography (Central, Southeastern and Eastern Europe being not “different” and “incomparable,” on the one hand, or a “belated copy” of developments elsewhere, on the other). Individuals seeking admission to the doctoral program may also opt to pursue a specialization in Gender Studies, Nationalism Studies, or Jewish Studies. Candidates for the PhD program with a specialization in Gender Studies or in Nationalism Studies should follow the general admissions requirements for the History doctoral program. For each specialization a joint committee reviews applications. In addition to meeting the general CEU admissions requirements, applicants should submit letters of recommendation from three professors familiar with their post-graduate work and a three-page research proposal. The topic of the proposal should fall within the broad thematic focus of the program as described above and should address issues of method and substance as well as previous work done in the field in appropriate detail. Applications are welcome from candidates with a MA or the equivalent. For more information, please see the CEU Admissions web page (http://www.ceu.hu/admissions.html). Funding is for three years, with research support opportunities for an additional six months; the dissertation must be defended within five years from the comprehensive examination.

HISTORY The American Studies Center is a library and research center centered around the original collection of Harry Nelson Gay, a history professor from Massachusetts who came to teach at the University of Rome in the early twentieth century. By the 1920s, Gay’s library comprised around 10,000 volumes and was made accessible to the public. Upon his death in 1932, the library was given to the Center for Research on North American Affairs by his friends with the consent of the Fascist regime. In 1936 the collection was transferred from Palazzo Salviati to Palazzo Antici Mattei di Giove. At the end of World War II, the new Italian government inher- ited the library and afterwards sold it to the newly born Council for American Studies, which gathered Italian and American scholars, diplo- mats, and politicians. In 1963, the Center gained the legal status of non- profit institution both in Italy and in the United States and was given its current name and structure. The Center is headquartered in the prestigious rooms of the Palazzo Antici Mattei. It offers a series of services for the students and librarians of nine associated universities. Within this program, training activities (library science, event management), seminars, documentation, and di- dactics are offered. The students of the associated universities have free access to the library and its online services.

HISTORY & RESEARCH The Roosevelt Study Center (RSC) is a research and conference center focused on the history and culture of the United States and Dutch- American relations. The Center, located in a twelfth-century medieval abbey in Middelburg, opened its doors to the public in 1986. The RSC is closely affiliated with two American sister institutes: the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute in Hyde Park, New York, and the Theodore Roosevelt Association in Oyster Bay, New York. Since 1990 the RSC has been affiliated with the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). The Center’s main funding sources are the Provincial Govern- ment of Zeeland and the KNAW. The RSC cooperates with universities in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The objective of the RSC is to conduct and facilitate research on the history and culture of the United States (especially in the twentieth century) and Dutch-American relations, and to serve as a conference center and network hub for European and American historians and American studies scholars. This goal is achieved by the acquisition and provision of research collections of primary source materials on US history; the award- ing of grants and prizes to stimulate research; the organization of international symposia, seminars, and lectures; and the publication by its staff of scholarly books and articles. The RSC has a permanent staff of four persons: a director, two senior researchers, and a management assistant. At present there are also four part-time positions held by PhD students. Current and former research deals with Dutch-American diplomatic relations in the twentieth century; Dutch immigration to North America; US public diplomacy; Dutch-American nuclear relations, 1949–1969; Dutch immigration to the US in the nineteenth century; and the emigration of Calvinistic Dutch to North America, 1946–63.

Tomasz Basiuk, Director HISTORY The American Studies Center of Warsaw University (ASC) was founded in 1976, initially as a relatively small research center at the University.In 1992 the Center moved to the present location at Al. Niepodleglosci 22. The new location offers much more space and has enabled the Center to expand its activities significantly, including the establishment of a MA program. The next significant period of growth occurred at the end of the 1990s, when the Center hired many new faculty members from diverse fields, which has made it a truly interdisciplinary institution. To give even more prominence to the concept of multidisciplinary regional studies, the Center decided in 2002 to form an Institute for the Americas and Europe, together with the Center for Latin American Studies and the Center for European Regional and Local Studies. Each of these centers, however, remains independent within the new umbrella structure. Its primary objective remains the advancement of American studies among Polish academics and other professionals. To achieve this, the Center provides research facilities, including the largest American studies library in Poland, with sizeable microfiche and microfilm collections, as well as a wide selection of relevant periodicals.

HISTORY & RESEARCH The Department of Modern and Contemporary History of Western Eu- ropean and American Countries, one of the largest in the Faculty of History, has operated a laboratory of American studies since 1977. Stu- dents specializing in American history are offered the opportunity to listen to lectures from Fulbright scholars in the faculty of history on various issues and periods of American history, for example, the history of American political parties, problems of plantation slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the history of the party-political struggle during the Progressive Era and New Deal. Special proseminars have been offered on problems of the colonial period and “Jacksonian democracy” as well as on the history of labor movements, the civil rights movement, the constitutional and economic history of the US, and the history of twentieth-century American culture. The participants of the Fulbright lecture program were historians from the United States. Among them were Leon Litvac, recipient of the Pulitzer Prize; Erik Foner, an expert in the history of the American Civil War and Reconstruction; Darret Rat- men, one of the founders and most outstanding researchers of the school of modern social history; Robert Kelly, a representative of the ethno- cultural school of American historiography; Edward Pessen, the original North American History in Europe 137 author of the concept “Jacksonian democracy”; and David Browdin, an expert in the labor and trade-union movement. In 1995, at the initiative of historians specializing in American history at MSU, an association was created, uniting more than 100 American specialists in Russian institutes of higher education. From the moment of the Association’s creation, its chairman has been E. F. Yaz’kov and its academic secretary A. S. Manykin. On January 23, 1998, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Fund for the Study of the USA was established to promote a long-term, multilateral cooperative relationship between MSU and the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute in Hyde Park, New York. The overall objectives of the Fund include assistance for Russian-American intercultural cooperation; perfection and development of the study of American history, culture, and society at Moscow State University; and the organization of joint Russian-American discussions on urgent public and scientific problems. A major component of this cooperation is the realization of the academic and educational programs of the Fund. The Fund houses an interdisciplinary academic library containing American publications and collections of documentary films, computers for the use of the internet, and equipment for screening films. The Fund’s short- term development plans for academic activities include purchasing un- published archival materials for Russian researchers and special equipment for reading microfiche and microfilms, and the expansion of opportunities for work on the internet for academic research and to im- prove the educational process. Other directions of the Fund’s activities include furthering academic and public contact between the two countries. It allocates a Roosevelt Grant, which enables academic exchange for students and teachers and organizes visits from American academic and public figures to Russia. Several American exchange students have already visited MSU through the program, and American historians such as W. Lahtenberg (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) and Professor A. Brinkly (Columbia Uni- versity) have already given lectures and participated in meetings with Russian representatives of the academic community. Current and former research deals with the history of American foreign policy in the Third World after the Second World War; industrial democracy in the USA; the concept of national interest in American foreign policy from the end of the eighteenth century to the first quarter of the nineteenth century; international economic relations during the Cold War; political parties and American foreign policy in the 1960s; mass democratic movements in the USA in the first half of the nineteenth century; American political history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and Puritanism in New England in the seventeenth century. 138 Reference Guide No. 23

Since its creation, the main goal of the UAH has been to establish and cultivate international studies through cooperation and program development. The IUIEN has played an active role in realizing this goal. The Research Institute for North American Studies was created with an interdisciplinary vocation devoted to North American Studies. One of our main objectives is to promote the development of research about North America. The other is to develop and promote excellence in teaching. IUIEN also organizes other activities such as seminars, conferences, and lectures related to North America. It also promotes cooperation between the University of Alcalá and other North American universities and institutions through agreements and academic programs. Our goal is to be a model for research on North American studies and its dissemi- nation in Spanish as well as at other European universities. The three main foci of research at the IUIEN are: Hispanics in the United States, transatlantic relationships, and North American nature and environment conservation.

Note: Other staff members specific to the programs of study are drawn from several universities. Please check the website or contact the Institute for more information.

PROGRAMS OF STUDY The Institute offers an online MA in North American Studies. The program is divided into 9 fields of study: philosophy, history, literature, culture, economy, political institutions, geography and environment, economics, and methodology. Eligibility requirements: Under current regulations for Third Stage Own Studies of the University of Alcalá, in order to enroll in the online MA in North American Studies, students must hold: a graduate, architect, or engineer degree diploma from a Spanish university; a bachelor’s degree from a North American university; or a graduate, architect, or engineer degree diploma from any other university. The MA consists of 50 credits: 48 teaching credits and 2 credits for the thesis paper. These credits must be completed in an academic year. The Institute also offers an online MA in Transatlantic Relations– United States, European Union, and Latin America. Eligibility requirements are the same as above. Tuition and fees amount to approximately €4,000. The Institute’s unique doctoral program gives students the opportunity of studying the US from an interdisciplinary approach given its eight areas or lines of research: philosophical principles, history, political institutions, economy, society, literature, geography and environmental- ism, and US culture. Due to its interdisciplinarity, students from different study areas can enroll in the program. Such a doctoral program is unique among Spanish universities. Eligibility requirements: Students who wish to enroll in the Doctoral Program at the IUIEN must hold a “Licenciatura” from a Spanish university. Students who have an equivalent degree issued by a foreign university can apply to the program if their degree is considered “homologado” by The Spanish Ministry of Culture and Education. Those students whose degree is not considered as “homologado” can enroll in the program if authorized by the President of the University of Alcalá. Duration of program: 32 credits that can be completed in a minimum of two years. These credits are divided into two periods: a teaching period and a research period. After this part is completed, students enroll for the PhD thesis period.

SCHOLARSHIPS Student scholarships: There are three competitive grants for the MA programs: two for €3,100 and one for €1,550. The academic 144 Reference Guide No. 23 record and annual income of the students are considered in the selection process. There are 3 types of grants offered for the doctoral program: Collaboration grants: The beneficiaries of these grants help in administrative, housing, and computing tasks at the IUIEN. Research grants: The beneficiaries of these grants work on specific research projects. The IUIEN will advertise grants including the conditions, terms, and periods of each grant. The results of the research will be published in a book that will be part of the IUIEN book collection. In addition, the Environmental Program “Friends of Thoreau,” hosted by the IUIEN, provides the Marvin Douglas Grant on North American en- vironmentalism and nature conservation. US grants: These are travel grants for research or study at an American university or the Maastricht Center for Transatlantic Studies in the Neth- erlands. Ten to fourteen grants are awarded to UAH students each year. North American History in Europe 145

Today it has twenty professors who teach not only students of history but also those from several other faculties as well (political sciences, foreign languages, journalism, etc.). Two of the professors are professors of American history, which, for the Department, means the history of Latin America. The subdiscipline of US history is currently taught by Miguel Cabo Villaverde as a subject for students in their fourth year, and it was introduced into the program only a decade ago. To be more specific, research in US history is carried out only in relation to aspects dealing with Spanish migrations, although it is taken into account for comparative purposes by members of the Department working on nationalism, colonial history, and other areas. Current and former research deals with Galician migration to New York.

A long line of professors in history has since followed. Some of the more famous are Sven Lagerbring (eighteenth century), Martin Weibull (late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries), and his son Lauritz Weibull (early and mid twentieth century). Since 2001, the Department has also been the host institution of Nationella Forskarskolan i Historia (The National Research School in history), which has a government assignment to further historical research in Sweden and which trains doctoral candidates at Lund University, Växjö University, Malmö University College, and Södertörn University College (Stockholm). Current and former research deals with re-emigration from the USA to Båstad, ca. 1870–1935. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In general, very little research or teaching in US history is carried out in the Department. In the 1970s and early 1980s, research on US foreign relations was conducted, but has not been continued since then. Two doctoral theses on Swedish images of the US have also been written at the Department (in 1976 and 2003, respectively). From the 1970s until 2004, an optional course in US history was offered to undergraduate students in history in their first or second term. North American History in Europe 147

Eight Schools, or Faculties, offer a wide range of degrees in all subject areas. Its origins lie in the Mechanics’ Institute, which was founded in 1841 and over the course of the nineteenth century evolved into an institution offering higher education to a wide range of men and women. It became a Technical College by the 1880s, then in 1947 incorporated a Teacher Training College, and in 1970 became a Polytechnic. In 1992 it became a university. A recent national survey showed that the Teaching Quality ratings for Huddersfield University (based on direct observation by independent national assessment bodies) place it in the top twenty universities in the country.

HISTORY The Institute was officially established in 2004, merging the Institute of Latin American Studies and the Institute of United States Studies, both of which were founded in 1965. It is a center for research and postgraduate teaching on the Americas—including Canada, the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The Institute plays a national and international role as a coordinating and information center for all sections of the hemisphere at the postgraduate level in the universities of the United Kingdom. As such, it collaborates with colleagues from many disciplines and from other universities, who are encouraged to actively participate in teaching and research programs as Associate Fellows of the Institute. The Institute has developed and maintains an online research portal, called the American Studies Research Portal, located at http://www.asrp .info/index.php. It is a highly searchable directory of American Studies research resources in the UK. The site displays lists of academic staff, doctoral students, and researchers in American Studies and library and museum collections that offer US-related holdings and university departments that run courses that focus on the United States. There are also links to American Studies organizations, publications, and a variety of online research resources. North American History in Europe 163

His- tory is the core component for the multi-disciplinary programs MA in Area Studies (US) and MA in Area Studies (Comparative American Stud- ies). All degrees comprise a total of three course units and a 12,000-word dissertation. Tuition and fees amount to £3,390 (full-time) or £1,695 (part- time) for EU residents, £9,205 (full-time) or £4,603 (part-time) for non-EU residents. Research degrees offered are the MPhil and the PhD (four to six years), with programs of study according to the research specialties of the academic staff, including Associate Fellows. Tuition and fees are the same as above. RESEARCH FACILITIES The website http://americas.sas.ac.uk/library/ relates to holdings and information for the Latin American Studies Library of the Institute for the Study of the Americas. There is an online catalog available. Useful resources are also available from the University of London Research Li- brary Services (ULRLS) of which the Senate House Library and the Li- braries of the School of Advanced Study are now a part. This brings all the relevant library holdings within “The Americas” closer together. Spe- cific collections relevant to US history are described below. Collection 1 Housed in the Senate House Library, the United States Studies Collection (comprising 46,024 volumes) is one of the largest general collections on the United States in the country and is unique in keeping holdings in most subjects together. It provides interdisciplinary coverage of the history, past, and present institutions and culture of the United States. The collection’s main strengths lie in history, where the emphasis is on sec- 164 Reference Guide No. 23 ondary materials, and in literature. However, it also has good coverage of fine art, architecture, economics, film, politics and religion, and Native American and African American studies. There are also small sections on the history of science, technology and medicine, law, and education. Collection 2 Housed in the Institute of Historical Research Library, the History of North and South America Collection, comprising over 20,000 volumes, contains predominantly printed sources, bibliographies, and guides to archives, but includes some periodicals as well. The history of all parts of the area is covered from the period of European colonization to the twentieth century, although the chief strength of the collections lies in the period up to the mid-nineteenth century. The collection of sources for the colonial history of North America is one of the finest in the UK, and the collections covering the US Civil War are also especially noteworthy. The Latin American collection is strongest for the colonial history of New Spain, and the history of independent Mexico is also very well covered. There are also important holdings for modern US diplomatic history. Holdings of these libraries are available to view via the ULRLS library catalog, which includes links to electronic resources: http://www.ulrls .lon.ac.uk/search/.

HISTORY & RESEARCH American history enjoys great vitality at Oxford thanks to its dynamic expansion in recent years. Provision in the field is now unsurpassed within the British university system. Forming one of the largest estab- lishments of American History specialists in the country, members of the group teach and supervise most of the major areas of American history. The annual Harmsworth Professorship makes Oxford unique amongst British institutions by enabling a distinguished American scholar to spend a year at the university, teaching, conducting seminars, and pur- suing research. The Rothermere American Institute, housed in an elegant, purpose-built new building, provides a focus for a range of conferences, seminars, and other research initiatives, notable among which are col- laborations with the Universities of Virginia and Princeton. The Vere Harmsworth Library, housed in the same building, provides excellent, and fast-growing, resources for research. Americanists in Oxford have regular contact with leading scholars from America and Europe through weekly seminars, major conferences, and televisual discussions. Current and former research deals with the Atlantic World 1600–1900 and World War II and the struggle for racial equality.

An in- tegrated single honors degree in History, taught jointly by the Depart- ments of Ancient, Mediaeval, Modern, and Scottish History, is also offered. A wide selection of undergraduate course modules is offered at four levels. The First and Second Level courses are designed not only to serve as an introduction to the various areas of modern history offered to students in the subsequent Honours Programme but also to cater to the needs of students who do not intend to proceed with modern history beyond the first or second year. At Honours Level, the third and fourth years, the emphasis is on providing students with the widest possible choice for specialization in terms of subject matter and geographical area. At the introductory level, two complementary course modules (one in each semester) analyze the emergence and development of the early mod- North American History in Europe 171 ern world and the subsequent transformation of the Old Order in Europe and North America. Both courses focus on a range of intellectual, cultural, social, and economic factors that helped determine many of the characteristics of the world we live in. Appropriate emphasis is placed on the study of primary source material. The second year program also consists of two distinct modules. The first semester course completes the analysis of the development of the modern world through the examination of key political, social, and cultural events up to the present. Substantial use is made of primary source documents. The second semester is devoted to a thematic examination of evolving historical interpretations of the developments covered in the preceding courses. Honours Level Satisfactory passes in the First and Second Level course modules qualify for entry into the Modern History Honours Programme, which extends over two years. Students choose from an extensive range of Honours Option and Special Subject modules within the areas of British, American, European, and Russian history in the period from the mid-fifteenth century to the present day. The program’s duration is eight semesters. EVENTS Conferences Scottish Association for the Study of America 2005 172 Reference Guide No. 23

Thereafter students are free to choose from a range of modules in their third year of study, before engaging in more specialized work during their Honours year. This normally includes the completion of a dissertation on a subject of the student’s own choice. Students are encouraged to spend a year or a semester at a partner institute abroad as an integral part of their undergraduate degree program. The Department is strongly committed to postgraduate teaching and research. Members of the Department offer supervision for the degrees of MPhil and PhD by research across the full range of specializations (see website). In addition, a one-year MA program is also offered in tandem with Central Michigan University, with the year being spent at CMU. 174 Reference Guide No. 23

HISTORY & RESEARCH The Department of History, which was merged with the Department of Welsh History ten years ago, was created when the University College of Wales was founded at Aberystwyth in 1872. It was the first department of history in the United Kingdom to offer courses in American history before the Second World War. As in many other institutions, US history teaching was greatly expanded during the 1950s and 1960s, when a Board of American Studies was established, which offered its own degrees. Although the number of full-time members of staff teaching American history was, at its peak, three, cutbacks and retirements have left the complement at one-and-a half lecturers. Courses on US foreign policy are also offered by the Department of International Politics, which has at least one member of staff who is primarily a US specialist and many others who teach and research into the relations between the US and other countries. US history is also taught in the Department of International Politics. Current and former research deals with race, radicalism, and reconstruction in Washington, DC, 1861–1978, and the history of the CIA.

Prof. W. Mark Ormrod, Head of Department HISTORY & RESEARCH The Department of History combines exciting and original research with the best traditions of stimulating and innovative teaching. Widely accepted as one of the foremost centers of historical research and practice in the UK, the Department numbers some thirty professional academic staff and approximately eight hundred undergraduate and graduate students. The Department is rated “Excellent” in teaching and received a “5A” rating in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise. Much of the teaching in the Department is research-led, reflecting the current interests of the staff. Students thus have the opportunity to participate actively in the development of the discipline. Most of the undergraduate curriculum is deliv- ered through small-group seminars: students are encouraged to take active responsibility for their own learning, duly supported by a strong pastoral tradition and by ready contact with tutors. Graduate students have numerous opportunities to participate actively in the research culture through a varied program of workshops, seminars, and conferences in the Department and the associated institutes and centers. The Depart- ment prides itself on the friendly, informal, and supportive environment that it provides for all its members. Current and former research deals with Native Americans and the land.
