The Remarque Institute in Paris at the Department of History (ENS)

In September 2007, the Remarque Institute opened a branch in France at the Ėcole Normale Supérieure [ENS] to carry on the mission of the Remarque Institute in New York, bringing together young academics and non-academics to discuss contemporary issues in scholarship and public policy. The Paris-based Remarque Institute organizes and supports programming for the study of the Mediterranean and contemporary Europe in collaboration with the Department of History at ENS, where it also contributes to the European Doctorate in the Social History of the Mediterranean and Europe, within the framework of the Curie Programme of the European Commission.

The director of the Remarque Institute in Paris is Katherine Fleming, Professor of History at NYU. Jair Kessler, the Assistant Director of the Remarque Institute, and Zvi Ben-Dor, Professor of the History of Islam at NYU, are also attached to the Remarque Institute in Paris.

As part of the partnership with Remarque, ENS doctoral students and researchers are frequent visitors to Washington Square. NYU faculty and graduate students are in turn encouraged to visit Remarque at ENS, and to participate in our seminars and conferences. They should contact Jair Kessler for further information.
