Conference 2022:

The Spectre Haunting Academia

The aim of this conference is to situate the rise of the Far-Right in conjunction with academic spaces and practices i.e., to understand the macroscopic role Academia has in producing, challenging, and responding to the proliferation of this adaptive ideology. How do scholarly practices and the Far-right interact? How do Far-right governments impact Academia, both nationally and globally? Why are Academia’s responses to and/or co-options by the Far-right so culturally impactful? This is just a selection of questions the conference would like to address, especially in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences, whose engagement with the Far-right has been historically more pervasive.

 

Abstracts: ca. 250‒300 words

This conference is addressed specifically to researchers, PhD candidates, and final-semester Master students from 4EU+ partner universities, who might be eligible for a mobility grant. However, researchers from other universities who might be interested in the topic are also welcome. The one-day conference will take place at Heidelberg University at the end of June.

South-South-North Cooperation of the HGGS

With the scholars from the Universidad de La Habana, Cuba, the Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador and the Universidad Central de Venezuela, the HGGS has also started to host a colloquium series in Spanish in 2019, which allows participating doctoral candidates to present their research in their main working language. The results of this South-South-North exchange have been published by the HGGS in a collection of essays in 2020, where each scholar presents an important aspect of her or his doctoral project. A new collection of essays with interdisciplinary approaches to the corona health crisis has recently been published.
