The Microworlds Lab, now embedded in the Department of History as the "History Hub," continues to highlight microhistorical methods and foster intellectual collaboration between Duke faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students. In fall 2023, the lab kicked off "History Hub Presents," a series of talks and workshops that provided opportunities for people working in and supporting historical research to engage with each other.
