Call for Applications: Summer Course “Cities and Science: Urban History and the History of Science in the Study of Early Modern and Modern Europe”
18-27 July 2016, Central European University
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 knowledge, 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 knowledge production, as well as 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 historical fields and disciplines, such as intellectual and social history, 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.
For more information on the course, please see the website.
