2nd ETEE Conference and Spring School: The Global History and Global Governance of Europe’s Transoceanic Encounters

Organized by the Jean Monnet Network 'European Transoceanic Encounters and Exchanges (ETEE)' with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union in collaboration with UC Berkeley, KU Leuven, University of Amsterdam, Kobe University, UNESP, Seoul National University, Nanyang Technological University, and Jawaharlal Nehru University.

University of California, Berkeley | May 24-25, 2022 | David Brower Center

Description

With the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, the Jean Monnet Network European Transoceanic Encounters and Exchanges (ETEE) aims at enhancing understanding and teaching about Europe’s place and role in today’s world by looking at its present and past transoceanic relations and connectivities. Together with the founding partner university KU Leuven, the ETEE Network includes the University of Amsterdam, the University of California, Berkeley, Kobe University, São Paulo State University-UNESP, Seoul National University, Nanyang Technological University and Jawaharlal Nehru University as participating partners.

This second conference aims at advancing ETEE’s multidisciplinary agenda for the study of Europe’s interactions with world regions.  The goal of the second ETEE conference is to develop research papers for ETEE publications (working paper series, e-book and blog) within the network’s academic and research agenda. As such, this second conference is an ideal opportunity for members of the ETEE network to introduce new work for feedback or revised versions of papers presented at the first ETEE conference.

Moreover, the ETEE Spring School for MA level and PhD students will run in parallel to the conference, from 24 to 26 May. Scholars attending the conference are welcome to contribute to the School activities by giving short lectures, serving as discussants or panel chairs for student presentations.
