The common theme to be explored this semester relates to the history of our respective disciplines and sub-disciplines (Forschungsgeschichte). What is the origin of the terminology we employ as ancient, Byzantine or medieval historians? Where do we draw the boundaries, chronologically, geographically? How has it changed over time? How has this affected the institutional contexts for our research (university departments, research centers, scholarly journals, funding opportunities)?The Colloquium will meet every two weeks, for a total of six meetings.
