On the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Berlin Wall, the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame will host an interdisciplinary conference to reconsider the European “nation”, “national identity”, and alternative modes of political mobilization in 1989, its aftermath, and its commemoration. We welcome a broad range of methodological approaches for presentations focused on Germany and Eastern Europe, including historical and social scientific, as well as perspectives informed by cultural, literary, music, art, and film studies.
We welcome proposals for both individual papers and full panels. Conference presenters will speak for fifteen minutes. Individual paper proposals should include a title and a brief, 300-600 word abstract. Complete panel proposals should include a commentator, a 300-500 word panel abstract, as well as paper abstracts for three individual presenters. Proposals should be submitted through the Nanovic Institute Website ( nanovic.nd.edu/1989 ), by June 1, 2019. We will notify you of your acceptance by July 1, 2019. Conference papers will be submitted by October 1, 2019, for pre-circulation within panels.
Please contact the conference co-director, Mark T. Kettler ( mkettler@nd.edu ), with any questions.
