The German Historical Institute, Washington DC, in conjunction with the Canada Research Chair in German and European Studies at the Université de Montréal and the History Department at the Université du Québec à Montréal, invites paper proposals for the conference, Navigating Diversity: Narratives, Practices and Politics in German Speaking Europe. The conference will take place in Montreal, 13-15 April 2016.

The conference aims to encourage scholarly reflection on diversity, especially in the context of German-speaking Europe from the Reformation era to the present. What would happen, in particular, if we viewed diversity as constitutive of, rather a spectre that haunts (liberal) modernity? How might such a shift shape our conception of difference and of the narratives, practices and politics it has engendered since circa 1500? 

Interested participants should submit a proposal (in English, French or German) that includes a title; a single-spaced abstract of no more than 500 words; and a short (1-2 page) CV. Proposals should be sent as an email attachment (.pdf or .doc file) to both steinhoff.anthony(at)uqam.ca and till.van.rahden(at)umontreal.ca, using “Navigating Diversity 2016” as the subject line.

The deadline for submitting a proposal is November 10, 2015.
