italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear all
Please find attached the ASMI 2016 Conference Programme 'THE FORCE OF HISTORY: CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF MODERN ITALY.
The conference will be held jointly this year with the Institute of Historical Research's Modern Italian History Seminar. The seminar, which is sponsored by ASMI, this year marks its twentieth anniversary.
In that time, it has hosted numerous speakers who have given papers on many aspects of modern Italian history. One of the convenors of the seminar was Christopher Duggan, who was also Chair of ASMI at the time of his death in November 2015.
The conference offers an opportunity to reflect on the state of historiographical debate on a range of themes that figured prominently in Christopher Duggan's work, and to explore the roles of British historians and of the seminar itself in the historiography of Italy.
Best wishes,
ASMI secretary
