From neoliberalism to neostatism: transformations in the post-pandemic ideological horizon -

CfP: To the rescue of minority groups. Gender, migration and racism in heritage and museums

The gradual transformation experienced by museums in the last few years has fostered the incorporation into exhibition spaces of social minorities hitherto barred from them due to their social invisibility, exclusion and marginalisation. Occidentalism and European-centred perspectives gave rise to decontextualised, distorted and racial exhibition criteria constructed from a biased view of otherness. Ethnocentrism remains rampant.

CfP: Nordics in Motion: Transimperial Spaces and Global Experiences

The past decade has witnessed a growing interest in Nordic involvement in colonialism, whether participation in the global slave trade, settler colonialism in Sámi lands, or various forms of collaboration by Nordic individuals and groups with other European empires (Alsaker Kjerland & Enge Bertelsen 2015; Petersen et al. 2017; Fur & Hennessey 2020; Lahti & Kullaa 2020)

CfA: Visegrad Scholarship at the Blinken Open Society Archives at CEU

For a deeper understanding of the interdependent recent history of (the center of) Europe, the International Visegrad Fund offers research fellowship grants at the Vera and Donald Blinken Open Society Archives at Central European University (CEU), Budapest, on a competitive basis, to support scholars who wish to conduct research in the holdings of the Blinken OSA.

 

CfP: Thinking Ecosocialism in the Post-Communist Landscape

Climate change presents an existential challenge to human existence. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change expects 1.5°C of warming by 2030 and 3-4°C by 2100, which would make large parts of the globe uninhabitable through flooding and desertification. The impacts are already being felt. The arctic is melting. Deforestation and warming both exacerbate the conditions for pathogens to mutate and spill into human populations.
