Regimes of Historicity Annual Colloquium 2010

With the termination of the second year of Junior Fellows the Regimes of Historicity project comes to its conclusion. The 2nd and final ROH Colloquium is scheduled for June 24 - 29 in the mountain resort of Ribaritza (North-East to Sofia, on the northern slopes of Stara Planina, near to Lovech).

The event will gather again fellows from the first and second years, CAS fellows from the Modernity and Identity Programme as well as guest commentators (around 30 participants).

The idea behind this forum is to spur intensive exchange between Junior and Senior (Prof. Diana Mishkova , Prof. Antonis Liakos and Balázs Trencsényi) Fellows on different stages of their research and with different thematic focus and methodological "takes", as well as to provide external expert contribution immediately prior to the finalization of the 2009 – 2010 Fellows’ researches. The meeting will combine intensive scientific discussions with additional time for informal talks and touring in the region.

The event is financially supported by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (Sweden).
