An international conference on The History and Historiography in the 20th century is taking place in Athens (18-20 June) organized by the University of Athens, the University of Peloponnese,  Historein journal, and the International Network for Theory of History.

The conference will attempt to explore the inner and deeper connection and interrelation between the various experiences of the century and the various approaches to history: to see how twentieth-century historical experiences like wars and genocides, feminism, decolonization and techno-scientific developments link with historical schools, determine the study of the past and contribute to our understanding of it.

It will look at how changing political, cultural and social perspectives have effected disciplinary transformations and trends, national and intermingling intellectual traditions, and how they all connected with historical experience and ways of remembrance.

The conference includes keynote lectures by professors Georg G. Iggerss (The 21st century perspective), Anthony Molho (Historians in exile) and Joanna de Groot (Gender, imperialism and history writing since 1960), plenary meetings as well as many parallel sessions.
