The Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies
The Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor advances historical research and teaching with powerful new tools for supporting visiting scholars, enriching the intellectual climate for faculty and graduate students, and extending knowledge across campus.  Through lectures, workshops and other programs designed to foster scholarly exchange, the Eisenberg Institute promises to transform the teaching and study of history at Michigan.  All events are open and we welcome faculty, students and visitors.

The Thursday Series is the core of the Institute's scholarly program.  We meet bi-weekly with distinguished guests to examine methodological, analytical, and theoretical issues in the field of history.  4:00-6:00pm, with refreshments, 1014 Tisch Hall unless otherwise noted.

The Friday workshop is an informal workshop or round-table that brings together EIHS visitors with UM  faculty and graduate students.  These discussions focus on current work or historical topics of broad interest.  12:00-2:00pm, with lunch, 1014 Tisch Hall.
