TGHS is excited to announce our 2022 Jan-Georg Deutsch debate, held in memory of Professor Jan-Georg Deutsch. This year’s event is in conjunction with the release of The Politics of Historical Memory and Commemoration in Africa (eds. Cassandra Mark-Thiesen, Moritz Mihatsch and Michelle Sikes), a Gedenkschrift in honor of Jan-Georg Deutsch.
The motion for this year’s debate is: The myth is more fundamental than the fact in collective memory.
We are pleased to welcome Dr Moritz Mihatsch, Assistant Professor at the British University in Egypt, as the proponent, and Dr Rouven Kunstmann, Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Erfurt as the opponent.
This event will be held in person in the Pavilion Room at St Antony’s College 24 May, 17:00-18:30. Following the debate we will be providing light refreshments. This event requires registration—if you are interested in attending, please register here.
An open access copy of The Politics of Historical Memory and Commemoration in Africa is available here.
We hope to see many of you there!
