The partner institutions of the European Summer School on
Cold War History are jointly convening the eighth edition of the school
at University of Vienna, Austria
8-10 September 2016.
The Summer School is a unique conference specifically for
PhD students and early career researchers to discuss the effects of the
Cold War in the fields of politics, culture, and diplomacy, to name only
a few.
The School consists of workshops and panel sessions
focused on submitted research papers, debates on historiographical and
methodology, as well as practical sessions on publishing and academic
careers. The school offers an informal atmosphere in which new ideas and
research directions can be shared and debated, be it in panel sessions,
or over coffee and meals.
The school has a very high student to faculty ratio (2:1)
allowing participants to have in depth discussions about their research
with established scholars in the field. The faculty includes prominent
scholars, among others:
- Sara Lorenzini (Università di Trento)
- Kaeten Mistry (University of East Anglia)
- Piers Ludlow (LSE)
- Leopoldo Nuti (Università Roma Tre)
- Mario Del Pero (Sciences Po)
- Silvio Pons (Università di Roma Tor Vergata)
- Oliver Rathkolb (Universität Wien)
- Federico Romero (EUI)
- Antonio Varsori (Università di Padova)
- Vladislav Zubok (LSE)
PhD students and early career researchers (no more than 3
years from PhD completion) are invited to submit proposals. We encourage
submissions on any aspect of the Cold War, broadly defined. Of
particular interest are papers that make use of newly available primary
sources and innovative methodologies.
