Thomas Adam <adam@uta.edu> The University of Texas at Arlington I am working on topics related to philanthropy, transnational history and intercultural transfer. I recently finished a book on philanthropy in German, American and Canadian cities from the 1830s to the 1930s as well as a study of financing higher education in Germany from 1800 to the 1960s. I am very much interested in any discussion of intercultural transfer. |
