New research fields live from the interest of younger scholars and prosper not the least due to research from doctoral students entering the new intellectual terrain. That is also the case for global and world historical studies that have developed rapidly over the last years. While the Anglophone research trends are visible, partly even dominating, this is less the case for approaches and topics chosen at other places. In view of that the summer school seeks to give space to current works in a) France and Francophone Africa, b) based on French-speaking sources, and c) dealing with the outside relations and larger contexts of France in its different geographical scopes.
