Rothermere American Institute (RAI)
Description
The RAI, based at Oxford University, serves as a prominent hub for researching the United States and its global significance. Each year, it hosts over 200 seminars, workshops, conferences, and lectures that attract distinguished scholars, students, policymakers, and public figures worldwide.
The RAI also offers a podcast series, "The Last Best Hope?", featuring conversations with esteemed historians. Additionally, the RAI welcomes around a dozen visiting fellows annually, supports three junior research fellows, and hosts two distinguished visiting professors, namely the Harmsworth Professor of American History and the John G. Winant Professor of American Government.
The RAI strives to create an enabling and stimulating research environment for researchers at all levels in its key subjects: History, Literature, and Politics. This includes providing comfortable office spaces, facilitating peer feedback through high-profile seminar series, and tailoring library resources to researchers' needs. The RAI fosters specific research cultures for each subject area it supports.
