Breaking New Grounds: Democratising Gardens and Gardening in Great Britain, 19th-20th centuries

This conference stems from a reflection on the social and political dimensions of gardens and gardening in Great Britain ranging from the Victorian and Edwardian eras to the post-war period. Pondering on “People’s Gardens,” Vita Sackville-West claimed that “we have been called a nation of shopkeepers; we might with equal justice be called a nation of gardeners” (Sackville-West 1939). Her assertion insists on a sense of community, portraying gardening as an inclusive affair spreading across the country to amateurs along professionals who undertook training in botany and horticulture. Yet, such inclusivity needs to be qualified and addressed, taking into consideration class and gender: how was gardening dependent on class in Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries? How did class condition gardening practices? How did men and women’s experiences of gardening or access to gardens differ?

Commons and economic inequality in rural Europe (1500-1800)

European Rural History Organisation Conference 2025

Recent years have seen a flourishing of studies which have added considerably to our knowledge of inequality dynamics in preindustrial times. Scholars focused also on the determinants of these dynamics and some of these suggests a direct connection between the growth of economic inequality and the functioning of the public finances (i.e. Alfani and Di Tulio in their book on the Republic of Venice). Basically, the argument is that regressive taxation would have fostered this phenomenon, but we still have little knowledge about the mechanisms beyond this process. Why did this happen? How did the public economy’s choices influence these dynamics? How did the management of the common pool resources and the level of municipal and state direct taxation affect the paths of wealth distribution? Which were the correlations and causations mechanisms between the different elements?

Defining what is right

Politics of demarcation and the radical right in post-war Europe

Discrimination – in its literal sense of drawing distinctions – is at the core of right-wing politics. The demarcation of people along imagined and uneven, hierarchical lines may be its key feature, yet one particular demarcation has so far escaped scholarly attention: The inner right’s self-definition, not as a nation, race, or Volk, but as a political movement and a coherent political thought, and its answer to the question of who is part of it and who is not. This process, though largely overlooked, can be seen as a particularly fraught one – at least for the right-wing movements of post-war Europe, which were not only faced with the tasks of shedding the devastating legacy of fascism, rearranging ideological fragments, and creating new self-attributions, agendas, and alliances. They also did so under the watchful eye of post-war societies and institutional actors, who themselves had strong motivations for defining what is (radically) right.

Imperial Domesticities, 18th-20th Centuries

In recent decades, the study of imperial domesticities has undergone significant renewal and has attracted increasing attention. Whether servile or not, domestic work, performed daily within the intimate family framework of the home, is a fertile ground for observing the racial, social, and gender dynamics that develop in imperial territories. Numerous studies have shown that the colonial household and the domestic service relationship, far from being anecdotal, are crucial for understanding how relations of domination are forged, reformulated, and contested within colonial societies (Stoler, 2002). This conference aims to build on these studies.

Scotism in the Reformation Era

Historical and Historiographical Questions

Recent decades have seen great progress in our understanding of the tradition of Scotism. Thanks to the work of historians of late medieval and early modern philosophy and theology, the importance, but also the doctrinal complexity, of Scotus’ legacy have been brought to light. Historians of the Reformation, however, have remained cautious regarding the broad impact of this intellectual legacy. In order to do justice to the diversity of early modern Scotism, it is therefore time to have a fresh look at Scotus’ legacy in the Reformation era and to bring together historians of philosophy, of late medieval theology, and of the Reformed traditions to discuss the import of Scotism in the 16th and 17th centuries. This is the aim of our conference.

Caring, Taking Care

What do “caring” and “taking care of” mean? To what extent are “caring” and “taking care of” similar or different from a theoretical and practical point of view? In which contexts are they situated and to what extent do they depend on other contexts? In this conference, we will consider questions about “caring” and “taking caring of” – possibly connecting or differentiating them – in a broad sense, by opening a dialogue about their definitions in different disciplines and subjects, on their roles in various contexts with both humans and non-human actors, and on the way in which “caring” and “taking caring of” establish relationships with other features that define existence, the ordinary and the extraordinary facts of living.

Left-Wing Women’s Organizing and Activism in the Twentieth Century

This conference seeks to bring together scholars from different disciplines working on various aspects of the history of women’s activism and organizing. It aims to explore how women across the spectrum of left-wing politics shaped and influenced the twentieth century’s political, social, and cultural landscapes. The conference aspires to assess the contribution of left-wing women’s activists to the general struggle for women’s emancipation using intersectional, postcolonial, and critical-feminist approaches, acknowledging the pluralities in forms and methods of organizing. We encourage prospective participants to explore different forms and frameworks of women’s activism, collaboration, and/or antagonism; continuities and discontinuities within left-wing currents throughout the twentieth century. We urge moving away from Western-centric perspectives, looking into the broader history of women's activism.

« Suite française », 8/2025

Too often confined in the perimeter of military studies, the concept of débâcle discloses a plurality of dramatic, iridescent, vivid meanings. Facing a defeat means participating in a collective trauma, questioning established certainties, redeeming national identity in the face of a moral and political challenge. Rather than reconstructing the episodes of defeat and rebirth in French history, the eighth call for papers of Suite française invites to reflect on the perception of such episodes and their disruptive psychological and political impact. How were débâcle and similar categories such as décadence, trauma, failure, and renascence used by thinkers witnessing the Terror, Sedan, Vichy, and Dien Bien Phu?

The rise of Asia 70 years after Bandung

What possibilities to build the world anew?

There is no question that Asia has been rising. The question is, what impact does it have on the world? Or, to be more positive-progressive-prospective, what “desirable impacts” should it have on the world?One way to answer the question may be to look back at the Bandung Conference, which represented the common and shared dreams of Asian and African peoples, as formulated formally in the Final Communiqué of the Bandung Conference and informally in the expression “Bandung Spirit”. So, with the rise of Asia 70 years after Bandung, what are the possibilities to build the world anew?

Politics of the Enlightenment - 8 positions as Research Associate

Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (65 %, 48 months)

Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Interdisciplinary Centre for European Enlightenment Studies, offers 8 temporary positions as part of the “Politics of the Enlightenment” Research Training Group, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2029 (48 months), as a Research Associate (m-f-d) Part time (65%). The Research Training Group (RTG) examines the politics of the Enlightenment from the 18^th century to today. Its approach is twofold: firstly, it asks – in terms of the genitivus subjectivus – how both the historical Enlightenment of the 18^th century and also later Enlightenment enterprises think and act in a political sense. Secondly, it questions – in terms of the genitivus objectivus – how the conception of Enlightenment is constructed and perpetually renewed through political aims and decisions: How does the Enlightenment shape politics? And how do politics shape the Enlightenment?
