8th Workshop Notre Dame/Bielefeld
From 4 to 8 May this year’s Notre Dame/Bielefeld workshop for doctoral researchers took place at Notre Dame University (Indiana/USA).
Nine young scholars from the BGHS participated at the international workshop. Dr. Bettina Brandt, the manager of the School for historic research and Prof. Stephan Merl from the Department of History, Philosophy and Theology accompanied the group.
The international workshops focal point were parts and chapters of the still worked on dissertations of the participants. Short introductions by the authors were followed by comments, critics and concluding discussions.
Aside from the intensive textual work the stay at Notre Dame was a great chance to exchange knowledge about historical and sociological questions in general and doctorates in Germany and the US. A sightseeing tour in Chicago and a hike through the dunes of South Bend completed this year’s international workshop.
