2020-21 Global Graduate Exchanges with QMUL and HKU
For now the CCHS global graduate exchanges have been suspended due to the pandemic.
2019-20 Global Graduate Exchanges with QMUL and HKU
Due to the coronavirus pandemic March 2020 travel to London to take part in a conference at QMUL was initially postponed to mid-September, then canceled. Hong Kong University has cancelled its annual May History Symposium and so the 2019-20 exchange will not happen.
2018-19 Global Graduate Exchanges with QMUL and HKU
- In Spring 2019 a group from QMUL and one from HKU will come to Northwestern to take part in the April 12 conference on “Walls and Bridges: Migration and Its Histories” and other Center events.
2017-18
- In 2018 a group of three graduate students and Professor John Carroll traveled from the University of Hong Kong to Evanston to engage in CCHS activities and participate in our April 20 graduate conference on "Resistance in History."
- A group of NU History grads and faculty went to London the week of March 11-18 (Winter quarter Reading Week) met with QMUL peers and take part in the March 15 graduate conference on "Separation and Separatism." Yuri Doolan, Brian Forman, Andrea Rosengarten, and Guangshuo Yang presented papers at the conference, while Michelle Bezark and Andrea Christmas chaired panels at the conference and conducted research in London archives. Professor Sarah Maza, who accompanied the group, gave a talk at QMUL on historians' use of childhood in their work.
