Crossing perspectives: History in the “longue durée”

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

Main research domains

Our interdisciplinary research domains are: History and Space; Materiality and Culture; Migration, Memory, Identity and 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”.
