The Harvey Goldberg Center will support an annual lecture by an outstanding historian whose work embodies or extends the spirit of the late Prof. Goldberg's bequest for the Center, which he dedicated to “the struggle against racism, bigotry, imperialism and economic deprivation” [History Department Legislative Code, Title 6, Section 2, Feb. 5, 1988]. The speaker will receive all expenses and an honorarium of $1,000, and the Center will underwrite a luncheon and a dinner for a small group.
This year the annual nomination deadline will be April 15, 2010; if the resulting pool fails to yield a suitable speaker, we will announce a second phase with a deadline of September 15, 2010. Nominations should come in the form of a letter describing the nominee's research and abilities, submitted via email to the chair, Alfred W. McCoy, at awmccoy@wisc.edu.
