The first visiting scholar in the UNL MedRen/CREMS partnership, Andrea Nichols, presents her dissertation research at the University of York in 2015.

Comparing US and UK systems

Given UNL's partnership with the University of York Center for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (CREMS), and for those who will study abroad and be surrounded with a different academic culture, it is helpful to understand the language difference between the US and UK degree programs.

For those looking at postdocs and faculty positions in the UK, the best listservs to use are jobs.ac.uk or Times Higher Ed Jobs.
