Rewriting the History: Changing the Reading of the Past

The international PhD students conference "Rewriting the History: Changing the Reading of the Past," held on June 13th-15th, 2024, focused on the reinterpretation of history and the renewal of memory in response to new political and social concerns. Organized by the Department of Historical Studies at the Faculty of Humanities of Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, the conference provided an interdisciplinary platform for critical investigation into how historical narratives are reshaped in light of contemporary changes.

This event brought together scholars from various fields to explore new angles for studying and interpreting the past. Our project member, Sophia Winkler, presented her paper “Belonging Between Two Worlds? Social Media and Young Russians’ Identity Abroad”
