The Atlantic History Seminar, directed by Professor Bernard Bailyn, is based at Harvard University in connection with the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History, and is a program funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The aim of the Seminar, founded in 1995, is to advance the scholarship of young historians of many nations interested in the common, comparative, and interactive aspects of the lives of the peoples of the Atlantic world, transcending local and national boundaries and to help create an inter-national community of scholars familiar with approaches, archives, and intellectual traditions different from their own. Participants, for whom travel and accommodations are provided, are historians at the beginning of their careers, recent recipients of the Ph.D. or its equivalent, or advanced doctoral students engaged in creative research on aspects of Atlantic history. Members of the Seminar are drawn from the nations of Western Europe, Africa, Latin America, and North America for presentation of work in progress, discussions of the theme of the Seminar (which changes each year), and exchange of views with senior scholars who chair the sessions of the 10-day meetings held each August.The programs and working paper abstracts for each Seminar are available. Information regarding the 2010 Seminar will be posted in the early part of 2010.
