The Center for Historical Research

The Ohio State University

The Center for Historical Research brings together faculty, students,
and the general public to examine the historical foundation and
development of critical issues of global importance. The Center offers
resident fellowships for senior and junior faculty, as well as those
completing dissertations. We also invite members of the academic
community and independent scholars to make presentations at our seminars.

In the academic years 2009-2011, we will be studying, "The Intersection
of Diaspora, Immigration, and Gender in World History." We believe that
a gendered analysis of group migrations may reveal new patterns in
diaspora and immigration history, shed light on specific migrations, and
bridge the historiographical gap between diaspora and immigration
histories. A gendered analysis of group migrations may help us better
differentiate the meaning of forced and voluntary migrations, and the
processes by which people maintained, discarded, and transformed their
cultures, and their host cultures.

For the 2009-2010 academic year we are conducting a fellowship
competition and seeking presenters whose research falls in the broad
period extending from the Ancient World through the 18th century. (The
2010-2011 academic year will cover from the 19th century to the
present.) We invite scholars from all disciplines, studying any peoples
and geographic area(s) relevant to our program. Application information
for fellowships can be found on our website, http://chr.osu.edu/, and
are due by February 1, 2009. Those interested in making presentations
at the seminars should contact the CHR director, Alan Gallay, at
osuchrosu.edu.
