Australasian Association for European History (AAEH) Conference 2017
Monash would like to invite you to the XXVth Conference of the Australasian Association for European History, to be held at Monash University’s Caulfield Campus in Melbourne
We invite established scholars as well as postgraduates to discuss Europe’s entanglements (and disentanglements), their historical roots, contours and contemporary resonance, from the eighteenth century to the present, on the topics below. Individual papers are welcome, and we also encourage panel proposals.
- The formation and dissolution of borders, blocs and empires in Europe;
- The foundation, expansion and maintenance of overseas colonies and empires, their dissolution and legacies;
- Efforts at national and regional unification, as well as the resistance of ethnic and religious groups against integration within nation-states and across the continent;
- The movement of people as migrants, refugees, expatriates;
- Social and cultural networks and movements – monarchies and aristocracies, entrepreneurs and business people, journalists, scholars, public intellectuals, artists, entertainers and writers;
- Europe’s efforts, attempts and failures at integrating within a global community, through legal, economic and political institutions;
- Entanglements with the past through commemorative practices and communities, representational practices, custodial institutions and museums, and through traces and monuments in the landscape (natural as well as urban);
- The historical trajectory of environmental entanglements, between humans, animals and their habitats, urban and rural.
