Dr Axel Schäfer gave a keynote address
Dr Axel R. Schäfer gave the keynote address at a recent conference on "Beyond the Nation Pushing the Boundaries of U.S. History from a Transatlantic Perspective" at the University of Genoa. His presentation on "Transnationalism and the Welfare State: Cultural Social Politics in Europe and the United States in the Interwar Years" reviewed recent efforts to internationalize twentieth-century U.S. history on the basis of an analysis of the relationship between immigration and social policy. The conference featured a wide range of papers by scholars from Italy, France, and the UK. The proceedings will be published next year.
