"Other Europes: Concepts, Histories, Narratives"
In the wake of anti-EU movements, the return of full-blown war and growing anti-democratic tendencies on the European continent, competing concepts, histories and narratives of Europe loom large in the 21st-century present. This conference, co-organized by the RCSC, starts from the assumption that while diversity is often seen as a cause of problems it may also serve as a means to counter recent trends of eroding unity, democracy and societal cohesion. Bringing together international scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds, the conference will examine socially marginalized positions, subaltern perspectives and historically shifting peripheries to add more plural, polyvocal accounts of 'other Europes' and 'other Europeans'.
A roundtable featuring eminent scholars and entitled "Other Europes - Past, Present, Future" will be available for remote online participation (20 November 2025, 5.30-7 p. m.). See here for the link and stay tuned for the conference programme.
