History and crisis of industrial societies

Workshop-seminar proposed by Marion Fontaine as par of the international DéPOT Program.

 For this first year of the seminar, we will concentrate on a certain number of key words and concepts, as well as on a certain number of questions of method. Each session will be introduced by the presentation of the seminar coordinator and / or a speaker. This will have been prepared by circulating one or more texts to all the participants and summarised by a discussant. The discussant will then be responsible for launching the discussion with all the members of the seminar.

 Modern North American History

Centre for History at Sciences Po (CHSP)/ Roosevelt Institute for American Studies (RIAS) Seminar.

The political developments, societal transformations, cultural shifts, foreign policy initiatives, national security concerns, and international relations that originated from the US have left an indelible mark on the North American continent and the global landscape. This seminar series, organized by the Sciences Po Center for History (CHSP) in Paris and the Roosevelt Institute for American Studies (RIAS) in the Netherlands, forms a platform to explore these diverse and interconnected themes. 

This series, one of very few of its kind in Europe, intersects with various significant historiographical trends, continuing the move towards a more integrated view of US and North American history. It pays special attention to the inclusion of global, imperial, transnational, and interconnected histories to reframe our understanding of the United States’ place in the world and the emerging focus on international environmental history and issues.

The platform, which meets once a month in a hybrid format, encourages active participation from doctoral students and aims to serve as an open and inclusive forum for discussing some of the most innovative recent scholarship. It aspires to bring together historians of different backgrounds and in different stages of their career, foster a historiographical and interdisciplinary conversation, and critically consider the contemporary societal and political ramifications of the historical events under discussion.

 Convenors: Mario Del Pero (Sciences Po, CHSP), Gaetano Di Tommaso (RIAS), Dario Fazzi (RIAS), Olivier Burtin (Université de Picardie, Jules Verne)
