Yearbook of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies
The Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies was founded in 1995, originally basing itself at the Institute of Germanic Studies of the University of London; it is now based at the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Since 2013, Dr Anthony Grenville has acted as Chair of the Research Centre, whose members are Professor Charmian Brinson, Dr Jennifer Taylor (Honorary Secretary), Dr Jana Buresova, Rachel Dickson, Professor Andrea Hammel, Dr Stephanie Homer, Kat Hubschmann, Dr Bea Lewkowicz, Sarah MacDougall, Dr Anna Nyburg, Dr Rachel Pistol, Dr Ines Schlenker, Dr Monja Stahlberger and Felicitas Starr-Egger. The aim of the Research Centre is to promote research in the field of German-speaking exiles in Great Britain. To this end it organises conferences and publishes their proceedings, holds regular research seminars, publishes its own peer-reviewed
Yearbook and holds a biennial Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Memorial Lecture. Its members cooperate in the writing of scholarly studies, including a volume on the German-speaking refugees from Hitler in Britain,
Changing Countries (2002), and
Out of Austria, a study of the Austrian Centre in London, 1939-47 (2008). The research interests of the members of the Research Centre are many and varied, covering a wide range of academic disciplines. The multidisciplinary nature of the Research Centre is also reflected in its members’ many publications. Though the Research Centre is primarily concerned with the German-speaking refugees from Nazism in Britain, its scope extends to include comparable groups such as the Czech refugees from Hitler. Given its location near the heart of the principal centre of settlement of the refugees from Germany and Austria, the Research Centre readily provides advice and useful contacts to academics and postgraduates working in the field. It is the leading centre in its field in Britain.
The editors welcome contributions relating to any aspect of the field of German-speaking exile in Great Britain, not limited to the refugees from Hitler in the mid-twentieth century.
