LISTSERV - HISTPHD-L Archives

I am writing to you because of your position as Graduate Program Director. The German Historical Institute is interested in reaching out to graduate students in history especially across the Washington Metro Area. As you may be aware, the GHI is an independent institute here in Washington, dedicated to the promotion of historical research in the United States and in Germany. We offer a variety of lectures, seminars and grants as well as a publicly accessible library that may be of interest not only to graduate students with interests in German and European history, but beyond that to those with wider transatlantic, transnational, comparative or global research agendas. For example, the GHI currently displays an exhibition on African American Civil Rights and Germany and our lecture series this spring will look at the global financial crisis from an historical perspective.

Bringing together young scholars with a variety of interests is one of the missions of the GHI and we would like to ask if you would be willing to share information about the GHI's upcoming events with your graduate students (and, of course, interested faculty). Would you, for example, be able to distribute event invitations by email or display posters or flyers a few times per semester?

Attached you will find an invitation to our upcoming Spring Lecture Series Financial Crises: How They Changed History that we would like to extend to your students and faculty. For more information about the GHI, please visit http://www.ghi-dc.org/ or contact me with any questions or comments.
