Call for Applications for GRAINES Summer School

From the Margins: Revisiting European History, c.1400 to present

Venue
SciencesPo Menton, France 17-20 June 2013

Organizer
GRAINES (Graduate Interdisciplinary Network for European Studies)

The summer school seeks to discuss new interpretations and conceptualisations, which have the potential to question and revise traditional notions of Europe and classic views of Europeanization, and to prepare the ground for a new understanding of European History. The organizers invite scholars from a broad range of theoretical, geographical and chronological perspectives, stretching from political and economic to social and cultural history. Temporally, the summer school is trans-epochal and covers the pre-modern and modern periods.

Heirs to the Throne

Tuesday 26 June 2012

The Heirs to the Throne project will, for the first time, focus systematically and comparatively on the roles played and contributions made by those waiting to come into the glittering inheritance of a European crown. The biological realities of hereditary rule made heirs to the throne a crucial part of monarchical systems. By analysing the heirs to the continent’s many thrones, the project will offer a new perspective on the political culture of the states and societies of 19th-century Europe.

Academic Life, Public Spheres and Political Cultures in Western Europe and the United States, 1945-90

In what ways – and to what extent – did academic life change in Western Europe and the United States during the Cold War era? Why did it change the way it did? These are the leading questions of a workshop that will examine the evolution of scholarly life within the context of far-reaching transformations of public spheres and political cultures.
