We cordially invite interested researchers to present and discuss their ongoing or recently completed work before an international audience. Please send an abstract (1-2 pages) and short curriculum vitae (with list of publications, if possible) by June 15, 2021 to asagasser@dhi-paris.fr and wolf@dhi-roma.it.

Topics
The geographical area is deliberately not clearly defined and includes Europe, as well as the Mediterranean region in its broadest sense. Also comprised are interconnections between the Euro-Mediterranean area and other world regions. The following topics are in focus:
• Cross-regional, transcultural, and interreligious entanglements (processes/results).
• Overlapping Spaces: Between geographic borders and cultural contacts
• Social networks and interpersonal relations
• Mobility and migration
• Transfer, diffusion and adaptation (of ideas, knowledge and material objects)

Seminar schedule
The seminar will focus on discussion. Presenters are therefore asked to submit a paper of max. 5000 words to the coordinators 10 days before the event. In the online seminar itself, only a 10-minute keynote presentation will be given. A subsequent 10-minute commentary by a specialist will stimulate the discussion, for approximately 45 minutes. The seminar will be held in English. In exceptional cases and after consultation with the two coordinators, the paper can also be submitted in French, Italian, Spanish or German.
