hist Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hello all, I'm finishing up my MA, and I'm applying to PhD programs for Fall 2014. I study Modern Jewish History, and my research is on a highly specialized transnational issue. My problem is that I need a modern Jewish historian who focuses on, or at least is interested in transnational issues in Modern Jewish history. So far I'm looking at NYU, Columbia, and UCLA. I might add Stanford, Brandeis, and GWU to that list, but I'm on the fence. Do any of you have any recommendations for additional programs I should look at? I really do want to add more (especially because I don't know how competitive I'd be in those application pools). Any advice from other Jewish historians would be appreciated! Thank you so much. (also, admin, sorry for the double post--I was posting from my phone before and didn't realize that I wasn't on the history board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franglais799 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Check out the University of Chicago. Prof. Bernard Wasserstein is a leading world expert on Modern Jewish History, and he is also one of the nicest, most adorable men ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glo Fish Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Jeffrey Veidlinger, formerly of IU, now at Michigan with a named chair would be a good option if your interested in Eastern European Jewish History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
