Transnational Dimensions of the Algerian War (of Independence)

That's the topic of an international workshop this coming Friday, October 14, at our university. One of the organizers is Dr. Niek Pas, speaker earlier this semester in the Colloquium. This "expert meeting" has a dual purpose: first, presentation of papers dealing with the topic "The Algerian War and / in Western Europe," and second, reflection upon and discussion about researching this theme of "la guerre d’AlgĂ©rie dans ses dimensions internationales." In addition to the local organizer, there will be speakers from Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, and France. Meeting languages are English and French, so it's also a good opportunity to hone those language skills that you worked so hard to master in high school. Space is limited, so if you'd like to attend (morning, 10-13, and/or afternoon, 14-17:30), please e-mail to: n.g.pas@uva.nl.
