Spanish-Italian-Greek webinar series on History of Education – 12 June 2025

The collaborating Universities and Societies listed are launching a series of online seminars (webinar) aiming to explore comparatively issues in the history of education in Spain, Greece and Italy. Each seminar involves two or three interlocutors presenting a topic in the history of education in Italy, Spain and Greece at the same period of time. This initiative seeks to highlight the value of comparative approaches. Invited speakers will present their research and highlight the relevance of their interlocutor’s research to their own. The webinar attracts speakers from Greece, Italy, and Spain, providing a forum for established historians as well as early-career researchers to present their work on issues of mutual interest. Seminars started May 2024 and take place four-five times per academic year, on days announced ahead.
