Welcome to the Charles Warren Center on-line. As Harvard's research center for North American history, our mission is to advance research and teaching in the broad range of American historical inquiry, and to serve as a nexus for the community of Americanists at Harvard and in the Boston area. Since 1965, the Warren Center has brought hundreds of postdoctoral fellows to Harvard and awarded research grant funding to generations of Harvard students, both undergraduate and graduate. The Center also hosts public lectures, organizes conferences and symposia, and sponsors the occasional publishing project.

The theme of our 2009-10 postdoctoral and faculty fellowship is "Empire, Sovereignty, Migration, Diaspora: Transnational America from Above and Below." Convened by Vincent Brown and Walter Johnson, the program includes a graduate course, History 2464hf. Faculty, fellows, graduate students and invited guests will together develop a global, imperial, and national account of the historical coordinates of migration, immigration, and diaspora in U.S. history, mapping the patterns traced by commercial, military, and legal power alongside the movements of people, their ideas, and their political struggles. Public sessions will include discussion of the fellows' pre-circulated works-in-progress. The Harvard and Boston-area scholarly community is warmly invited.
