Join Professor Jan Hua-Henning’s book proposal workshop on November 7! We’ll delve into Incendiary Cities: Fire, Technology, and the Origins of Modern Emergency Response in Germany and the U.S., 1800-1900, exploring how 19th-century emergency fire services evolved and the societal values they upheld. Book proposals, like research and grant proposals, offer valuable insights into academic writing by showcasing novelty and targeting an intended audience.
Special guest Scott G. Knowles, historian of disaster and author of The Disaster Experts, will join us. All students are welcome, and food will be provided! For an advance copy of the proposal, contact Sydney Brown at sydney.brown@dukekunshan.edu.cn.
