The 20th Century: Revolutions and Nationalism Revisited Workshop, will held in Lima from April 17 – 30, 2011. This Workshop focuses on the most significant revolutions of the 20th century and their impact on questions of nationalism and identity. The aim of the workshop is to study how shifts from monarchy to democracy, populism and dictatorship took place across the Global South and how revolutions and civil wars changed the meaning of concepts such as nationalism
and identity.

The Workshop will be organized around the comparative experiences of Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America. It will bring together about 10 young historians and historically-inclined social scientists for two weeks of
collective reflection, knowledge building and training. The participants will follow a programme designed to permit them to share experiences, improve the theoretical and methodological quality of their work, and deepen their comparative insights.

Applications must be written in English. The deadline for submission is 28th of February 2011. An international scientific committee will examine the applications of the candidates by the first week of March 2011. Successful applicants will be notified immediately after the completion of the selection process.

Incomplete or unnecessarily lengthy applications will not be taken into consideration. The applications must be emailed (or faxed) to:
