60 Years: Fascism Seminar Revisited
International conference - 9 to 13 January 2025 - Rome
George L. Mosse Program in History
The 2025 conference will ask: Can historians make comparisons between different national contexts? What constitutes a “fascist empire”? How did European far-right movements seek to reshape the bodies of their populace? And is it meaningful to use the terms “fascism” and “fascist” to describe contemporary political movements?
Sven Reichardt (University of Konstanz) one of the participants: "Violence and War"
