Call for applications: Cities and Science: Urban History and the History of Science in the Study of Early Modern and Modern Europe
The CEU Summer University
invites applications from graduate and doctoral students as well as
early-career researchers to the course
"Cities and Science: Urban History and the History of Science in the Study of Early Modern and Modern Europe"
to take place in
Budapest, 18-27 July 2016.
Application deadline: 14 February 2016
This interdisciplinary summer
course will bring together senior and junior scholars of urban history,
the history of science, and other related fields in order to exchange
ideas in developing new research
agendas with an aim to expand the “urban variable” in the history of
science and to designate a space for the sciences in urban history from
the early modern period to the early 20th century.
While the summer school will
have a distinct interdisciplinary and trans-epochal character, and
encourages practitioners of other fields, such as environmental studies,
gender studies, literature, science
and technology studies, sociology, cultural or social anthropology, to
apply, potential participants should demonstrate historical awareness
and a general interest in history.
The course is directed by
Markian Prokopovych and Katalin Stráner, and the faculty includes Bert
De Munck, Karl Hall, László Kontler, Kapil Raj, Ulrike Spring, and Roey
Sweet.
