Bucharest
The Phanariots have long animated the historiography of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Southeast Europe. Contemporary political commentators, as well as historians seeking to construct national(ist) narratives, branded the Phanariots with critiques of corruption, foreign interests, and the legacies of the Ottoman past. Yet, scholars have conducted scant research on how and why “Phanariots” and “Phanariotism” came to signify corruption, bad governance, and a seemingly inescapable Ottoman past after 1821. This workshop tends to this gap in historiography.

Sociability and the Travelling Letter
Message, Medium, Mobility in Europe and the Colonies in the Long Eighteenth Century (1650-1850)
The long eighteenth century is widely recognisedby scholars as a golden age of letter writing, characterised by the expansion of transnational and transatlantic correspondence networks among the elites. Particularly in Britain, this period witnessed an unprecedented enthusiasm for epistolary exchange, which led to a proliferation of publications—ranging from scholarly productions such as theoretical treatises and letter-writing manuals, to literary works, whether fictional, sentimental, general, or biographical. These developments contributed to a redefinition of epistolary conventions, narrative models, and often gendered representations of letter writing.

“Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya
The trilingual conference “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya seeks to address a still relatively unexplored topic: the study of Italian communities abroad, with particular attention to the Mediterranean world in the period between national unification (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911). At the core of this reflection lies the close, and not merely chronological, relationship between the migratory dynamics that characterized the early decades of unified Italy and the rise of colonial expansionism. The seminar therefore aims to investigate this connection through the specific lens offered by the Italian presence in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire before the occupation of Libya.

British Travel Writing and Imperial Rivalry in Europe and the Near East, 1783–1914
This conference aims to interrogate some of these British visions of rival empires in narrations published between 1783 and 1914. It would be interesting to analyse the practice of imagined colonialism, that is, how the British travellers cast a domineering gaze upon their imperial rivals when travelling in lands that were not colonies of the British crown.

Peripheral Archives in Africa and Eurasia (19th-20th century)
On 10 October 2025, we will bring together historians from Eurasia and Africa (19th and 20th centuries) to reflect on the concept of peripheral archives and how the production/preservation/use of archives located on the periphery or margins (geographical, political, global or national, family archives, village archives, non-state institutions, the Global South, etc.) informs the writing of history.

Historical approaches to religious reinventions and social change in late modern societies
Special Issue for the journal “European Review of History”
From the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, religion played a continuous role in shaping societies worldwide. This period was marked by dramatic historical changes, including imperial expansion, decolonization, the devastation of two world wars, and the ideological tensions of the Cold War. Religious institutions, communities, and individuals actively engaged with all these phenomena, proving themselves to be co-creators of profound social, cultural, and political shifts. Currently seeking contributions from historians focusing on selected examples of religious transformation and social change in Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism of the Greek rite, Judaism and Islam.

Tozeur
The 1st International Forum on Design, Desert, and Sustainable Development (4D) offers a transdisciplinary reflection on the desert as a space for creation, innovation, and resilience. Held in Tozeur from February 4 to 7, 2026, the forum brings together researchers, artists, designers, engineers, and local stakeholders to explore ecological, social, and aesthetic challenges related to arid environments. It examines the role of design in the sustainable transformation of the desert through three key approaches: the desert as an in situ creative laboratory, an in vitro catalyst for innovation, and an in vivo space for learning.

Invisible Actors in the Making of International Law (1750–2000)
This interdisciplinary conference invites graduate students and early career researchers to consider the genealogy of international law since 1750. It aims to identify new or unrecognised actors – including individuals, groups, and institutions as well as non-human agents – and their contributions to the practices, interpretations, and applications of international law. How did they establish or challenge norms, customs, and institutions? How were their practices, actions, and ideas shaped into law? The event aims to historicise the making of international law by bringing together junior scholars of history and law and to provide a forum for the exploration of new ideas and alternative perspectives, combining and building upon historical and social scientific approaches.

Literature, Spiritualities and the Politics of Meaning in Liberal Italy, 1861–1915 (Romance Studies)
This special issue examines the intersections of literature, spirituality, and politics in Italian culture between 1861, the year of Italian unification, and 1915, a symbolic threshold that, for Italy, marked both the onset of the war and the collapse of its liberal order. This period witnessed a profound epistemological crisis, as traditional structures of knowledge and belief were increasingly destabilized by the pressures of modernization, secularization, and rapid ideological and social change.

Public-Private Partnerships and Hybrid Practices of Shared Monopoly on Violence in Europe, 1870s-1920s
The conference aims to show that even at the apex of the modern State trajectory, hybrid practices not only persisted, but rather represented fully sanctioned courses of action across Europe. Observed through the prism of hybrid groups like civic militias, security agencies as well as volunteer armed corps, the well-established dichotomy between public and private appears to be less clear-cut than it is usually believed to be. In between these two poles of publicness and privateness, a vast grey area emerges.

Imagining the Future of Ports in the Long Nineteenth Century
Special Issue of The Journal of Transport History
The nineteenth century, as stated by the volumes that have now become classics ofhistoriography by Christopher A. Bayly (2003) and Jürgen Osterhammel (2009), coincideswith a «transformation of the world» in a global sense and «the birth of the modern world». The present proposal aims to collect articles that analyse the perception and response to changes in maritime transport at the harbour level, with respect to port cities considered both as individual cases and as groups of cities belonging to a regional geographic area or connected in a network, and finally as case studies in a comparative perspective.

Conference, symposium - History
Lived experiences and professional identities in the past
Liberas, UGent, the Laboratoire des pratiques et des identités journalistiques (ReSIC-ULB) and CAMille (ULB/KBR) are organizing between 5 and 7 June a three-day international colloquium on the life stories and careers of "forgotten journalists". The history of journalism has often focused on a limited number of famous individuals. Behind these big names are many journalists whose names and work have not made it into the canon. But to capture the full diversity of the journalistic field, these careers and lives need to be recovered.

Ecological Grief and Mourning in the Literature and the Arts in the Anglophone World
This conference proposes to explore the concept of ecological grief and the fast-growing body of theoretical work that is developing around it against the background of the ongoing sixth-mass extinction and biodiversity loss. With this conference, we also wish to think about the longer history of ecological grief from the eighteenth century onwards, including by exploring some of the consequences of the Industrial Revolution. Is nature grievable? How do we grieve for it? What is the role of writers and artists in this individual and collective process? While to some, environmental grief gives way to desolation or an irredeemable sense of melancholy, others view it as a form of resilience or even a spur to action, a source of activism in art.
