The Notre Dame London Centre near Trafalgar Square
Eight Notre Dame graduate students from the history and English departments joined eight peers from U.K. partner universities this summer for an intensive workshop designed to foster cross-disciplinary training, accelerate dissertation progress, and build international networks of young scholars.
Held July 1-17 at the University of Notre Dame London Centre in Trafalgar Square, the first Global Dome Dissertation Accelerator was organized around the theme of transnationalism. It called on participants to “investigate the methodological, disciplinary, and conceptual challenges and advantages of thinking beyond the nation and across linguistic, ethnic, and political boundaries in the humanities research and training.”
