The University of Oxford’s American History Research Seminar invites submissions from scholars who have work-in-progress they would like to workshop with the academic community at the Rothermere American Institute. Applicants should plan either: (1) to present a 45-minute paper in person at the seminar, or (2) to pre-circulate a paper of 10,000 words (including footnotes), alongside a 20-30 minute talk that would still allow attendees to engage with the substance of your material.
