“The Fluid Boundaries of Colonialism. Advantages and Disadvantages of a Postcolonial Perspective for the Study of North and East Central European Regions” is
a joint Conference and Junior Researcher Workshop of the Nordost-Institut, Lüneburg, and the Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe – Institute of the Leibniz Association, Marburg.

The conference and workshop will analyse the specificities of the regions mentioned and critically reflect on the applicability of the questions, approaches and theories of (post)colonial studies. We invite researchers from different historical disciplines who deal with the approaches mentioned.
The event is divided into two parts:
– a workshop for young scholars on 21 and 22 November 2023, where topics and approaches will be discussed in depth and research projects will be presented, as well as
– a scientific conference from 22 to 24 November 2023.
It is possible for young researchers to participate in both events or only in the conference or workshop and to propose contributions.

The event will be held in German and English. Travel and accommodation costs for speakers will be covered in accordance with the Federal Travel Costs Act (BRKG). There are no participation fees. Please send your exposé in German or English (approx. 300 words) together with a short CV to sekretariat@ikgn.de by 1 May 2023, indicating which part of the events you would like to participate in.
