Conference
The annual conference of the Centre for Southeast European Studies
“Southeast European Dialogues” will be devoted this year to the
centenary of the beginning of World War One. Rather than looking at the
war itself and its causes, the conference will explore the way the war is
remembered in Southeastern Europe. The narratives of the causes and
origins of the war have been subject to reinterpretation and renewed
interest over the past year and the conference will map out the debates
over how to remember the beginning of World War One, the way in which
these narrative fit into existing national historiographies and how larger
historical debates fit into the regional context, as well as how these
debates have evolved over time and interrelate with the present.
Centre for Southeast European Studies
The Centre for Southeast European Studies was founded at the University of Graz in 2008 as interdisciplinary forum for teaching and research, based on the university-wide Southeastern Europe focus. The
Centre organizes a Joint Degree MA program and a PhD program in
Southeast European Studies, as well as organizing regular events on
the region. Its research focuses on contemporary Southeastern Europe,
including Europeanization, interethnic relations, social movements,
democratization and contemporary history. Its staff include political
scientists, historians and lawyers and it collaborates closely with other
researchers at the University of Graz and internationally.
