Annual Conference "Studying East and Southeast Europe as Area Studies"

"Studying East and Southeast Europe as Area Studies: Paradigms - Themes - Methods for the 21st Century": The Fifth Annual Conference of the Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies, a joint programme by LMU Munich and the University of Regensburg within the German Excellence Initiative, will take place in Munich, 25-27 October 2018.

"Studying East and Southeast Europe as Area Studies: Paradigms - Themes - Methods for the 21st Century": The Fifth Annual Conference of the Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies, a joint programme by LMU Munich and the University of Regensburg within the German Excellence Initiative, will take place in Munich, 25-27 October 2018.

Keynote lectures will be given by Prof. Dr. Diane P. Koenker (University College London School of Slavonic and East European Studies) and Prof. Dr. Frank Hadler (Leibniz-Institut für Geschichte und Kultur des östlichen Europa - GWZO Leipzig).

Six years ago, in late 2012, the Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies was launched. Our priority has been to create a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment for successful doctoral projects and cutting-edge research on Eastern and Southeastern Europe, exploring the particularities of the countries, societies and cultures of this region. One of our basic premises has been a trans-regional perspective: East and Southeast Europe cannot be understood isolated but only in their interrelations with other world regions.

Numerous excellent dissertation and postdoctoral projects have been completed – proving the success of our program. But the world in 2018 is different from that in 2012. How do well-established theoretical and methodological premises still fit within today’s challenges? In which geographical contexts must we consider our research topics? And what consequences do transnational communication practices have on the production, acceptance and application of knowledge? It is time to draw a substantive interim review and to discuss paradigms, themes and methods of studying East and Southeast Europe as Area Studies for the 21st century.

The conference languages will be English and German.
