PROGRAM
Digital Gathering for Early Career Scholars at the Digital Workshop Festival 2021, June 28th 9am to 13pm (CET)
Academic survival for early career scholars with Professor Ruth Oldenziel (Eindhoven University of Technology) and Voices from the Future of the History of Technology
About the event:
The Tensions of Europe network has established itself as an important forum and meeting point for historians of technology in Europe. The physical meetings, summer schools, and virtual conferences have been essential in facilitating international cooperation between early career scholars from different countries who are building their professional identity and academic networks. The suspension of travelling and postponing conferences, necessary due to the current global pandemic situation, has significantly reduced the possibilities of early career scholars to connect with scholars outside their home institutions.
To address these needs a digital summer seminar for early career scholars will be organized in conjunction with the Tensions of Europe Digital Workshop Festival. The focus lies on connecting scholars. Therefore, the workshop will provide doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars a possibility to present their research and interests in short format.
