SUMMARY:Small Nations and Colonial Peripheries in World War I:  Europe and the Wider World
DESCRIPTION:Small Nations and Colonial Peripheries in World War I:  \nEurope and the Wider World \nNational University of Ireland\, Galway \nFriday 13th-Saturday 14th June 2014  \nThe purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum of debate for transnational and comparative approaches to the history of small European nations and Europe‰۪s colonial peripheries in World War I in the context of the epochal changes brought by the collapse of large imperial states. Our aim is to reach a more nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between the peripheral regions of Europe and her empires and Europe‰۪s metropolitan core through the comparative and transnational analysis of the contribution of European\, Asian and African peripheries to the war effort in World War I.  \nProf. Michael S. Neiberg\, an eminent scholar of World War I\, will deliver the keynote address. Prof. Neiberg has written extensively on the multiple theatres and global reach of the War\, most notably in Fighting the Great War: A Global History (Harvard\, 2006) and Dance of the Furies: Europe and the Outbreak of World War I (2011).  \nScholars are invited to submit papers on themes focusing on social\, political\, or economic aspects of Europe‰۪s small nations and colonial regions during World War I. \nThemes covered may include the following: \n\nColonial troops serving in Europe\nTroops of ethnic European minority populations      serving in Europe \nTroops of ethnic European minority populations      serving in overseas colonies\nExperiences of populations of independent      small nations in Europe\nExperiences of populations of ethnic      minorities within European multiethnic states\nExperiences of indigenous and settler      populations of European overseas empires\n\nåáOfficial attempts to mobilise popular support across all ethnic groups in Europe and in the overseas colonies \n\nSupport for or resistance to such mobilisation      efforts and their different outcomes\n\nPapers may address the following geographical regions: \n\nPeripheries of European multi-ethnic empires      in Europe\nPeripheries of European belligerent powers to      the east and south of Europe\nEurope‰۪s overseas colonies\n\nThe workshop is an initiative of RÌ_isÌ_n Healy\, Enrico Dal Lago\, and GearÌ_id Barry at the History Department\, NUI Galway\, and will be held in June 2014 in order to mark the beginning of the commemorations for the hundredth anniversary of the start of World War I. \nProspective participants should send a paper title and a 300-word abstract\, accompanied by a 1-page CV to enrico.dallago@nuigalway.ie by the deadline of 28 February 2014. They will be notified of acceptance by mid-March 2014.  \nFor conference porgramme please see http://www.nuigalway.ie/history/documents/finalsmall_nations_final_programme.pdf
