Workshops

The following workshops will be activated in 2022-2023

.

Permanent seminar on local history - Prof. Anna Stagno

The Permanent Seminar on Local History is a well-established experience (started in 1992-1993) that has the explicit aim of integrating teaching and research activities with a strong focus on the dimension of local analysis, wants to propose an opportunity for dialogue around objects of common interest that characterize the work of those practicing historical investigations today, starting from documentary sources as well as from the field.  In the first part of the year, the speakers involved (and/or invited) will propose case studies with a focus on the procedures of analysis and use of sources and their relationship to the local context of source production. Beginning in March, the meetings will focus on the individual research paths of registered participants who decide to opt for independent research work: by February, those involved will prepare a personal research proposal--to be structured with a summary and bibliographical apparatus--and will discuss its progress, at subsequent meetings.

Themes and sources of research may be proposed by students or, if requested, suggested by faculty.

Each year the seminar focuses on a specific theme.

The Workshop includes one meeting per week (always on Monday afternoons) beginning January 30, 2023.

For more information and registration: prof. Anna Stagno - anna.stagno@unige.it
