The participants will transgress state borders which historically cut different activists and activisms apart from each other. Contributions will adopt an interdisciplinary approach with examining the relationship between local, national, and transnational/international dynamics of women’s activism in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and in its successor states. By discussing these issues, a more comprehensive picture on women’s activism in the Monarchy and in the successor states will be received. Furthermore, the relation of women’s movements to nation-building in the multi-ethnical setting of the Monarchy will also become more visible. The workshop will feature panel presentations and discussions and keynote lectures, providing opportunities for an intensive dialogue and to synthetize the latest research and scholarship in the field.
