The voices of historians, sociologists, and philosophers of science are vital in this debate. This event uses the case of interwar East Central Europe to explore these historical parallels. After the collapse of continental empires, this \u201cother Europe\u201d faced a double challenge of taming epidemics and creating new states. Drawing on the concept of biopolitics, this panel will rethink the process of nation-building through the prism of epidemics control. What social actors claimed expertise on these issues, and how did they win \u2013 or fail to win \u2013 trust in polarized interwar societies? How did their discourses and practices relate to the ethnocultural diversity of these spaces and how did they shape identities such as race, gender, class and ability? On what transnational, (post-)imperial, and colonial models did they draw? Conversely, how did the biopolitical experts, knowledge and practices from East Central Europe circulate on a global scale?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/intellectualhistoryece.files.wordpress.com\/2021\/01\/epidemics-and-nation-building-in-interwar-ece.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Poster as PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>11:00: Panel of distinguished speakers (4 panelists + 1 chair)<\/li>\n<li>13:00: Lunch and coffee break<\/li>\n<li>15:00: Seminar with graduate students, based on the panel and pre-assigned readings (moderated discussion)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>About the Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntellectual History in East Central Europe\u201d was launched in 2020 by a group of advanced doctoral students from the Central European University.
