The key thematic focus for the academic years 2011-2013 is Taking Place: History and Spatial Imaginations. The Thursday Series is a bi-weekly program of seminars, colloquia and lectures with distinguished guests and UM faculty.
In addition to the Thursday Series, the Institute sponsors and supports additional programming, including a Friday Workshop with the guests of the Thursday Series, various graduate student initiatives and other events designed to cultivate critical thinking about historical research and teaching.
