Workshop, 4 June 2024, 10.00 am, ICUB Humanities (Dimitrie Brandza 1)
Coordinator: Dr Argyrios Tasoulas (argyrios.tasoulas@icub.unibuc.ro)
‘The only source of knowledge is experience’, Albert Einstein
The objective of this workshop is to bring together a group of scholars and policymakers to reflect their own experiences and ideas on various approaches in Humanities and how they can be useful for practice inside and outside of academia. We bring to the table interdisciplinary thinking and transdisciplinary research: from archival ‘spadework’ to geopolitics; from literature to public diplomacy. The workshop will be held at the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest, Humanities Division, on June 4, 2024.
