The Intellectual History in East Central Europe Research Network invites you to join a roundtable discussion “Writing women’s intellectual history in East Central Europe”. The discussion will be based on a selected bibliography. The articles and chapters included in the bibliography raise the issue of the lack of women’s intellectual history in general, critically assess our conceptions of originality, creativity, and value, and ask what kind of Europe emerges when gender and history meet. Furthermore, the selected readings are beautiful examples of writing women’s intellectual history and the intellectual history of feminism in ECE more broadly. These texts also serve as discussion starters about the opportunities and challenges, difficulties and limits, as well as the relevance of writing women’s intellectual in East Central Europe.
The roundtable discussion will be open to the public, and it will be followed by a reading seminar (based on a selection of pre-circulated texts) for a selected number of applicants.
