Call for Speakers
The European Forum on US History invites applications from scholars interested in presenting their work in the Forum’s 2026–2027 seminar series.
The upcoming seminar series will begin in September 2026 and run through June 2027. The sessions are hosted monthly by the Forum’s partner institutes and take place primarily online with the possibility of hybrid formats. Selected speakers will be matched with one of the Forum’s host institutions.
Eligibility
The call is open to scholars at different career stages, including advanced doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career scholars, and established academics. Applicants should be based in Europe or have a clear connection to European scholarship on US history.
The Forum particularly encourages applications from scholars whose work helps broaden the geographical, methodological, and thematic range of European perspectives on US history. By European perspectives, we mean research that may draw on European archives and sources, examine European actors and their interactions with the United States, and/or engage with European interpretive frameworks and historiographical traditions. While we expect most participants to be based in Europe, we welcome proposals from scholars working on European dimensions of US history regardless of their current institutional location.
