Crossing perspectives: History in the “longue durée”

Interdisciplinary research at IHIST explores continuities and changes over the long term, focussing on transnational connections and cultural transfers.

Our main research domains

Our interdisciplinary research domains are: History and Space ; Materiality and Culture ; Migration, Memory, Identity ; Power and Legitimation. The historical areas forming today’s Luxembourg and Greater Region, the crossroads of Europe, constitute a stimulating case study for transnational historical investigation in the “longue durée”.
