The Dartmouth History Institute, which meets at the end of the academic year, is designed to explore the emerging trends and best new work in a particular sub-field of history by inviting finishing or recently-finished Ph.D. students to present and workshop parts of their dissertations in the company of senior scholars and editors. The theme changes from year to year.
2023 History Institute, June 20-23, 2023, Paul Musselwhite, Director
The Global and the Local: New Histories from Across the Seventeenth-Century World
Submissions due January 16, 2023
For three days, new scholars meet to workshop chapter and article drafts, and discuss their plans for completing their book projects. They are joined in discussion by senior historians and editors at major university presses.
Previous Dartmouth History Institutes included the themes:
European Intellectual History (2017, directed by Udi Greenberg and Darrin McMahon)
New Directions in Medieval Religious History (2018, directed by Cecilia Gaposchkin and Walter Simons)
Illnesses in Asia: A Comparative History (2022, directed by Soyoung Suh, Douglas Haynes, and Erqi Cheng)
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Institute was not held in 2020 or 2021.
The History Institute is made possible by the generous support of the Ethics Institute, the Department of History, the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, and the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences, and the Office of the Associate Dean of the Social Sciences.
