On August 24-26, 2017, Maria Grever, Kees Ribbens, Hester Dibbits, Maarten Van Dijck, Susan Hogervorst and Norah Karrouche, all (affiliated) members of the Center for Historical Culture, will present a session during the national conference 'Historicidagen 2017' at Utrecht University.
The 'Historicidagen'-conference is a three-yearly meeting in the broadest sense of the word, by and for historians. They are modeled after the German 'Historikertage' (since 1893) and the Annual Meetings (since 1886) of the American Historical Association.
The purpose of the 'Historicidagen' is to show the diversity and dynamism of the contemporary (art) historical field, offer inspiration and promote further cooperation.
The 'Historicidagen' connect all who are professionally engaged with the past: teachers, students, archivists, employees of museums and other heritage institutions, entrepreneurs, researchers and other (art) historical professionals.
