Participants

The Call is open to PhD-students from history and related disciplines, who work in the interdisciplinary field of writing connected, entangled or comparative histories that incorporate transnational or transregional perspectives or challenge the confines of national and Eurocentric historiographies. The language of presentations will be English but papers in French and German are also accepted.

Participants are expected to present a paper of 3000–4000 words in length as the basis for discussion with the whole group; the papers will be circulated among the participants beforehand. On the final day, participants are invited to pitch their research to the audience of the ENIUGH congress, marking the end of the summer school as well as the opening of the ENIUGH congress.
