About the Workshop

New Directions in American History (NDAH) focuses on themes and topics in North American history, serving as the primary home for the University of Chicago’s Americanists. We also welcome participation from outside students and faculty and are inclusive of projects which bring interdisciplinary methods and theoretical frameworks to bear on diverse historical questions and problems, while remaining mindful of their legal and sociocultural resonances in the present-day. This workshop is intended to be a constructive and supportive space for attendees to critically engage with a variety of projects on pre- and post-1900 U.S. & Atlantic History and its diversity of cultures, receive feedback on works-in-progress, and build collegiality across different disciplines and subfields.
