Theoretical concepts and approaches when studying uses of the past
May 23 2017 Uses of the Past hosts the seminar "Theoretical concepts and approaches when studying uses of the past".
The field around memory, heritage and uses of history is characterized as interdisciplinary and by using multiple and diverse concepts that are rarely related to one another. The seminar aims to identify important concepts and theoretical approaches among members of the research program when studying uses of the past and stimulates to bring the concepts in a discussion with each other
