The 20th Century US Working Group serves as a forum for graduate students in the History, American Studies, and other Humanities departments to provide and receive feedback on ongoing drafts, collaborate on exam lists, and hear from peers about new developments and trends in the field. The group is open to all graduate students whose work touches on the United States in the twentieth century, broadly understood. As a student-led community with a focus on the largest field of history in the Graduate School, the working group has been especially productive for both Ph.D students seeking candidacy as well as Ph.D candidates seeking employment. Students who attend meetings can expect a collaborative, respectful, and inclusive environment to share their work and foster community with members of different cohorts.
For any questions, or to be added to the group’s mailing list, please email martha.guerrero@yale.edu; benjamin.schafer@yale.edu; and rebecca.boorstein@yale.edu
