Dear History majors, Cultural Roadmapp, a start-up producing cultural audio tour apps for motorists driving in Ireland, is looking for interns for Spring 2016. Interns will conduct research to build the content for the app and will learn about Irish culture and heritage. If you are would like to pursue a career in technology, this internship could be a fabulous opportunity! Note that, although the attachment calls for Irish Studies students, there isn't a requirement to know Irish history so you do *not* have to be in that field to apply successfully, and do not have to be an IRST minor either (and of course you don't have to be Irish-American). All information is in the attachment. As usual, if you apply and get an internship, please do not forget to let me know! All best, Prof. Bregoli --- Francesca Bregoli Queens College-CUNY, History department Assistant Professor Phi Alpha Theta/History Club and Internships Faculty Advisor Powdermaker Hall 352YY Queens, NY 11367 Acting director, Center for Jewish Studies The Graduate Center, CUNY

Dear History majors, Just a reminder about an upcoming book talk at the Museum of the City of New York, co-sponsored by the Queens College chapter of Phi Alpha Theta. A reception and book signing will follow. Discounted tickets ($10) are available with the code below. All best, Prof. Bregoli --- Francesca Bregoli Queens College-CUNY, History department Assistant Professor Phi Alpha Theta/History Club and Internships Faculty Advisor Powdermaker Hall 352YY Queens, NY 11367 Acting director, Center for Jewish Studies The Graduate Center, CUNY ________________________________________________ City on a Grid: How New York Became New York Tuesday, November 10 at 6:30 pm at the Museum of the City of New York When it was conceived in 1811, New York City's street grid was supposed to end the chaos of "old New York" spreading unplanned from Manhattan's southern tip. This vast project of physical and social engineering turned the rocky hills and swampy valleys into the city we know today; the thousands of rectangular blocks, lots, and eventually buildings that the grid produced lent a sense of stability and purpose to a young city evolving into greatness. Join Gerard Koeppel, author of City on a Grid: How New York Became New York (Da Capo, 2015), for a conversation with Hilary Ballon, curator of the Museum’s 2011-12 exhibition, The Greatest Grid, about a plan that “defined the urbanism of a rising city and nation.” Reception and book signing to follow. We have a special $30 ticket + signed copy of the book through the MCNY website. Use the discount code MCBC3 for $10 tickets (regularly $16)!
