Agenda
RIAS-POSTHUMUS PhD Workshop: From Research to Publication (Middelburg, 8 May 2026) – deadline 1 May 2026
The Roosevelt Institute for American Studies (RIAS) and the research network ‘Societies in Context’ of the Posthumus Institute (research network) invite PhD candidates to an afternoon workshop focused on a core question of doctoral life: how to build and use scholarly networks to strengthen your research and translate it into publishable work.
This seminar is designed for researchers working on (or adjacent to) social, labor, and environmental history, and it will combine practical discussion, methodological reflection, and concrete publishing guidance. Featured speaker will be Professor Marc Rodriguez (Portland State University), editor of the Pacific Historical Review and a leading scholar of Mexican American/Chicanx history, social movements, migration, and US legal history.
While the workshop is primarily aimed at PhD candidates, it is open to all interested students and scholars, subject to space availability. In case there will be more applications than places available, Posthumus PhDs will have priority.
Applicants are asked to submit their application ultimately 1 May 2026.
