  • GREER, Caroline, George Mason University, US. Visiting PhD, March-May 2023.

"My time at the C²DH fulfilled me professionally and personally. By joining the center for almost three months, I met dozens of people engaging in stimulating historical research and new digital experimentation. One highlight of my time at C²DH was attending the “Women’s narratives and European integration history” conference in April. As a women’s and gender historian, but of American history in the nineteenth century, it was helpful to meet scholars who focused on women and their leadership but in a different context of time and place."  Caroline Geer
