This project has been the source of numerous workshops, including one organized by Professor Davis in fall 2003 at Rutgers and another at the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C., and culminating in June 2005 with a conference held in Heidelberg, "The Other Alliance." From this project Professor Davis is also producing a book entitled The Internal Life of Politics: The New Left in West Germany, 1962-1983, which she will use her current fellowship (AY 2005-6) to write.
