CfP for the NHG Anniversary Conference in Darmstadt

anus perspectives on basic historical studies Conference to mark the 10th anniversary of the Network for Basic Historical Studies (NHG)

2025/03/12

The ‘Netzwerk Historische Grundwissenschaften’ (NHG) – founded in 2015 by a group of doctoral students from all over Germany and which has since grown to over 120 members – is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an anniversary conference from 30 September to 2 October 2025 in Darmstadt. On this occasion, we would like to invite a broad academic audience to take a look back at the past decade and look ahead to the future of Historical Sciences (HGW) – in other words, to look backwards and forwards like the two-faced Roman god Janus, and at the same time to consider the potential ambiguities of current developments, especially the advance of digitalisation.
