Podcast Series "Meet a Historian"

A podcast brought to you by the ERC projects CAPASIA and ECOINT

How do Historians write History in the 21st century? 

In this podcast series, early career researchers at the European University Institute interview the historians marking out the contours of the discipline. 

These interviews are sponsored by the ECOINT and CAPASIA ERC projects, hosted at the Department of History of the European University Institute. They connect these projects with EUI researchers and some of the most innovative historians working today, all on-site in Florence at the EUI. We are excited to share their combined insights with you.
