Agenda
N.W. Posthumus Summer School ‘Crises and History’ (Utrecht, 30 June – 4 Junly 2025) – apply for final places by 1 June 2025
From 30 June until 4 July 2025, the N.W. Posthumus Institute will organise the Summer School ‘Crises and History’, delivered and organised by Dr Jessica Dijkman.
This one-week summer school familiarises the participants with recent research into some important historical crisis types with present-day parallels, such as epidemics and economic crises. They gain insight in the central academic debates related to the social, economic, political and cultural causes and consequences of these crises and in the factors determining the vulnerability and resilience of the societies that were confronted with them. Students discover the main methods and source types employed for an analysis of crises and acquire the skills to use them in their research. In short, the summer school stimulates students to develop their own research ideas on the topic of crises in history.
For the final places in this 2-3 EC course, make sure to apply ultimately by 1 June 2025 via the Posthumus website.
