What should I include in the cover letter? How is it different from the research statement?

Cover letters can be addressed to the Global History Selection Committee. Please use this as an opportunity to briefly tell us what draws you to the Research Cluster. You can also contextualize your work within the global history context and let us know how it fits in with our mission to promote global history as a critical humanistic enterprise in today’s world of coexisting and contending cultures. Please keep things concise- one page is ideal, and no more than two.
