Completion of unique decade-long research project kicks off year-long campaign.
Read the press release.
With the publication of the sixth Making Europe volume in May 2019, the book series has come to completion. Making Europe is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research project in which 13 historians and some 250 scholars of the Tensions of Europe network have researched European history on an unprecedented scale.
At the annual meeting of the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) in October 2019, the Making Europe authors presented their books and debated the implications of the book series with the wider community. This happening kicked off a year-long Making Europe campaign.
The campaign includes Making Europe events all across Europe, with the next event highlight to follow in spring 2020. Johan Schot, co-series editor and co-author of the volume Writing the Rules for Europe, is entering the stage with Beatrice de Graaf, terrorism expert and author of the book Securing Europe after Napoleon. Together they will take the audience on a journey through the history of Making and Breaking Europe and invite spectators to join the debate on Europe’s future.
Also part of the campaign is the well-received Making Europe Podcast Series. The podcasts provide a compelling mixture of storytelling and personal interviews, in which the Making Europe book authors elaborate on what has fascinated them the most throughout the long process of researching and writing. Three episodes have been launched, with another four episodes yet to come.
