Cambridge American History Seminar 2023-24

Seminars will be held on Mondays at 5:00pm in the William Mong Hall, Sidney Sussex College, unless otherwise stated. Many of the seminars will be based on pre-circulated papers that will be made available a week prior to the seminar date.

The 20 May seminar with Brenna Greer is cancelled. We hope to re-arrange this seminar for next year. As a consequence of this cancellation we are moving to a bi-weekly schedule for this term. As such we have moved Lila O’Leary Chamber’s seminar from 6 May to 13 May.

All inquiries should be directed to Jonathan Goodwin, jmg216@cam.ac.uk.
