PAAS emerging scholars workshops

The workshop will take place as part of the annual conference of the Polish Association for American Studies (PAAS), hosted by the University of Szczecin (16-18 September, 20026) on 15th of September 2026. It is designed as an interactive space for discussion, mentorship, and intellectual exchange among doctoral candidates, independent early-career researchers, prospective PhD students, and other emerging scholars working in the broad field of American Studies.

Rather than focusing on finished research, the workshop welcomes projects at any stage of development. Participants are invited to discuss emerging ideas, dissertation plans, methodological and theoretical questions, archival challenges, publishing concerns, and other aspects of academic research and professional development. Each short presentation will be followed by an extended roundtable discussion with peers and invited mentors.

Submission deadline: 26 July 2026
Notification of acceptance: 9 August 2026

The Legacy of Hungarians in the United States - Exhibition was introduced in Várkert Bazár as part of the U.S. Embassy Budapest's Freedom250 celebration with the participation of our colleague and head of the Institute of English and American Studies, University of Debrecen, Balazs Venkovits.

The Legacy of Hungarians in the United States: People, Places, Pathways initiative explores 250 years of Hungarian presence in the United States. Bringing together personal and family stories, key community locations, and archival materials, the project offers a comprehensive view of the historical connections between Hungary and America.

Developed for the 250th anniversary of the United States, the initiative unfolds through a virtual platform and a traveling exhibition, connecting communities across the U.S. and Hungary. Built as a collaborative effort, it combines scholarly research with community storytelling to create a growing, living archive.
