Upcoming spring 2009 courses on migration at the University of Minnesota encompass a range of themes from many departments. From photography to literature and the American mosaic to Paris, these courses can be used to fill requirements as well as electives in the coming semester.
The IHRC will have limited services for collection requests during the winter break (December 19, 2008 through January 19, 2009). Also, Elmer L. Andersen Library will be closed Dec. 25-26 and Jan. 1-2. Please consult in advance with collections staff about requests as limited staffing will increase the wait time for materials.
IHRC is scheduling presentations for the Spring 2009 Research in Progress series. During 2008-2009, IHRC programs will promote research on refugees and on migration and memory.
The Immigration History Research Center will award fellowships in 2009-2010 of up to $15,000 to University of Minnesota graduate students making use of the IHRC’s extensive Estonian, Latvian, and Arab American collections.
