(De)Constructing Borders in Borderlands Studies. 1st Congress of the Researchers of Borders and Borderlands (16–18 September 2024 in Wrocław and Opole, Poland)
space for the presentation of the effects of one’s activities, the integration of the borderlands community – we have the pleasure to invite you to participate in a new project of interdisciplinary, cyclical scientific meetings – the Congress of Border and Borderlands Researcher.
The Congress is an initiative of the Centre for Regional and Borderlands Studies at the University of Wrocław, the Institute of Political Science and Administration at the University of Opole, the Terra Diversa Laboratory at the University of Białystok, the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the Research Workshop on Borderlands Memory Narratives at the University of Gdańsk. We plan that such an event would take place every three years in different centres of Poland, and we have scheduled its first edition for 16–18 September 2024 in Wrocław and Opole. It is worth emphasising that the meeting is part of the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the accession of Poland and a number of other countries to the European Union; a celebration that is scientific in spirit, joyful in form, though also marked with a pinch of perplexity as for the future of Europe
