A Brief History of CCWS
Begun in 1994 as the Cold War History Group (COWHIG) and a full-fledged Center for Cold War Studies (CCWS) since 19 November 2002, CCWS works to promote scholarship on the Cold War period. CCWS holds an annual graduate student conference (in conjunction with the George Washington (University) Cold War Group (GWCW) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)) , hosts visiting scholars, puts on public events (lectures, symposiums, and workshops), and serves as a forum to discuss scholarly work in-progress by its members.
CCWS is a project of the UCSB Department of History. In addition to this ongoing support of the History Department, CCWS receives or has received funding or other support from the Dean of the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center (IHC), the UCSB Office of Research, the Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), and private donors. We gratefully acknowledge these supporters of CCWS. CCWS currently is seeking both permanent funding support as well as funding for individual projects. Please contact the UCSB Development Office if interested in financially supporting the Center and its activities.
