European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH)

For more than two decades the European Network in Universal and Global History promotes research and teaching in the fields of world and global history. As a multilingual forum it serves the exchange among scholars based in Europe, while offering many opportunities to connect with colleagues from other world regions. Building on the long tradition of world history writing in Europe, ENIUGH promotes the multiplicity of topical and methodological approaches to the study of past and current processes of cross-cultural interaction and entanglements in historical and interdisciplinary scholarship. The network advocates the transcending of former Eurocentric, teleological and universalist assumptions, and seeks to help contextualizing the continent’s past within a global perspective. It is engaged in strengthening the linkages between the manifold institutions in Europe that contribute to a historical understanding of today’s globally integrated world and collaborates with other regional world and global history organizations.

VII ENIUGH Congress

Following the summer school participants can attend and profit from the 7th European Congress on World and Global History, that takes place at Leiden University in The Hague, 29 June-1 July 2023. Under the theme “Conflict and Inequity, Peace and Justice: Local, Regional and International Perspectives”, the congress seeks to stimulate research discussions on the causes of conflict and inequity as well as the corollary features of various quests for peace and justice in all historical periods and around the globe. Thus, the congress aims to examine how historical narratives have been constructed around moments of peace and of conflict and to reflect on the long-term impacts of conflict and inequity in relation to processes of reconciliation and peace-making. In addition to contributing to the main conference theme, the congress is also a venue to discuss historical relations, transfers, and entanglements between states, peoples, communities, and individuals situated in, or spanning, different regions of the world.
