Cities, Borders and Identities Winter School
The interdisciplinary winter school Cities, Borders and Identities is a joint initiative of the Royal Netherlands Institute in Rome (KNIR), the Huizinga Institute, ACCESS EUROPE, ARTES, and the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam. It explores processes of place-making and identity construction in border cities by bringing together participants from various disciplines, and examining how differing approaches from both humanities and social sciences can shed new light on these questions.
Seminars, workshops, site visits, presentations and essay.
Participants are requested to prepare an introductory ‘framing’ paper – related to the participant’s own research project or a selected topic that is part of this winter school’s focus. The paper (approx. 6000 words) will be introduced by the participant in a 10 minute presentation during the first day of the winter school. This paper will be elaborated upon during the week, taking into account the feedback from Day 1 as well as the course material and a final draft assessed and discussed at the closing of the winter school.
