Dear Colleagues,
We would like to welcome you all to a new year of the Transnational Approaches to Modern Europe Workshop!
Please find the Autumn 2022 schedule for the workshop below. Meetings will be held Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:00, biweekly, with some exceptions due to holidays. Meetings for the fall quarter will be held in the John Hope Franklin Room (Social Sciences Research Building, Room 224)—with the exception of our first session: On October 12, we will meet in the CEAS Conference Room (1155 E 60th St., Room 310).
Each paper to be discussed will be available on our Canvas site and the workshop webpage one week before the workshop meets. If you need assistance accessing the papers or have any questions about the workshop, you can reach us at cremer@uchicago.edu and juliamead@uchicago.edu.
While we plan to meet in person this quarter, we will also continue to prioritize the safety of our community with respect to COVID-19. Please don’t hesitate to share any concerns or suggestions you have with us, or to let us know if there is anything we can do to facilitate your participation in the workshop.
