The Empire and I – Individuals in Empires and Postimperial Spaces

The third annual conference of the RTG Empires will explore the relations between individuals and empires and postimperial spaces. Analysing individuals in empires allows us to explore how empires shaped the lives of their subjects, but it also enables us to analyse how these subjects shaped empires on an individual basis.
The conference will include talks that cover a multitude of empires and world regions, epochs and disciplines. For the detailed programme, please refer to the attached file.
Persons who are interested to join the conference in person are asked to register via mail to our email address at the latest by November 20th, stating their institution and discipline. The conference will also be streamed via Panopto. The link for stream will be posted shortly before the first day on our site.
