Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies (EXILE)
ActiveDescription
The Research Centre for German & Austrian Exile Studies was established in 1995 at what was then the Institute of Germanic Studies, and brought together the London Research Group for German and Austrian Exiles with the Research Centre for Germans and Austrians in Britain at the University of Aberdeen. The work of the Centre focuses on the history of German-speaking emigrés who found refuge in Britain and their reception in British society, and extends to those who came from the former Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and other European countries, as well as Germany and Austria. The Martin Miller and Hannah Norbert-Miller Trust was established in 2009 to support the work of the Centre, enabling bursaries for doctoral study, Visiting Fellowships, sponsorship of the triennial conferences and the biennial Miller Memorial Lecture. The Centre holds the Exile Archive, established in 1996-97, and its Yearbook, launched in December 1999, is published by Brill.
