International conference and workshop

The organizers posit that the understanding of the current political dynamics in the CEE region can be advanced by investigating “deep stories”, that is, personal “truth” experiences, “feels-as-if stories”, frequently narrated through emotions. The event consists of two parts (conference and workshop) and aims at bringing together scholars from different national and institutional backgrounds interested in the in-depth reflection of these topics. Key-note speakers of the conference - Zsuzsa Gille, Professor of Department of Sociology, Director of Global Studies Program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Nicolas Demertzis, Professor at the Department of Communication and Media Studies of the University of Athens and Director of the National Centre for Social Research. The deadline to submit abstracts for the conference (250 words) and workshop (1000 words) is the 1st of April.
