The International Society for Cultural History invites paper and panel proposals for its 2020 annual conference on “Cultures of Participation and Belonging.”

At the latest since 2015, the self-image of the European states as open societies-open for all -is under massive pressure. Not only the so-called “refugee crisis”, but also the discussion about core values of the European culture have shown that the culture of participation and belonging – once regarded as backbone of the “new” Europe after 1990 – are questioned and under attack from different directions.
