Dr. Babiracki awarded a Humbodlt Fellowship
Patryk Babiracki, Associate Professor in the Department of History, has been awarded a Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The fellowship, based at the Berlin Center for Cold War, will extend over 18 months beginning in September 2017, to be preceded by four months of German language training also sponsored by the Humboldt Foundation.
Babiracki plans to develop a monograph dedicated to the history of the International Trade Fair in Poznań during the Cold War. The fair was one of only a few sites behind the Iron Curtain where people from around the globe met regularly to advertise their industrial and consumer products, to sign contracts for import and export of various goods, and to fight the Cold War.
