Premodern East Slavic Europe Network
(formerly Research Network Premodern Russia between Eastern Europe and Asia)
Scholarship on the history of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus is skewed towards recent history The new network aims to pool expertise on the pre-modern period in East European history in order to strengthen and increase the visibility of this area of research. The goal is to broaden the focus of early modern studies by integrating the history of the region into the transnational (or transimperial) and transcultural history of Europe and Eurasia. At the core of this initiative is the question of what significance the epochal changes of the pre-modern period have for our current understanding of Eastern Europe in the modern world.
The idea of establishing this network arose from the challenges connected with the low level of formal institutional support in German and western European universities for research into this time period. Such an academic network promotes scholarly communication and exchange of knowledge and ultimately, we hope, will facilitate the development of new research perspectives and projects on the history of Eastern Europe in the premodern period.
Events
Our next network meeting will take place online on April 12, 2024.
We look forward to exchanging ideas with historians and scholars from related disciplines and regional studies who deal with the (intertwined) history of East Slavic Europe in the pre-modern period. The network would especially like to encourage young and at-risk scholars to participate in our discussions.
