Welcome to the Global EUrope on Trial Conference
Hosted by: EuroStorie, Centre of Excellence in Law, Identity, and the European Narratives
📅 Date: November 26-27, 2024
📍 Venue: Main Building, University of Helsinki (Fabianinkatu 33), Small Hall (4th floor)
Sign up: Mandatory
Positioning Europe in the wider world has become an increasingly contentious issue both in research and in politics. Grand narratives of European unification and global value leadership have been challenged by decolonial and global ‘turns’ in scholarship. 70 years after the wave of independence of former European colonies, Europe is still coming to terms with its past and its violent colonial legacy. Meanwhile, crises of democracy, climate breakdown, and geopolitics underscore the need to reassess the global role of Europe (today)
The conference Global EUrope on Trial brings together scholars and political actors from Europe and beyond to discuss Europe’s past and present relationship with the surrounding world. We reflect on the drivers of periodic reimaginations of Europe and consider how the formation of new narratives may shape our collective future.
The event is free and open to all, but due to the catering we kindly ask you to register by 18.11.2024 by filling in this form: https://www.lyyti.in/Global_EUrope_on_trial_0912
