The conference, now in its third year, is going to focus on historiography studies and the theory of history and thus a critical perspective towards the written historical narratives is expected to come into the picture. The research interests of historians change over time, and in recent decades there has been a shift away from traditional diplomatic, economic and political history toward newer approaches, especially social and cultural studies and toward historiograph. The conference welcomes studies on different approaches and a comparative view.

What is the influence of theory on historical research? How have the theories, perpectives and methods been changed throughout the centuries and according to culture and politics? Alongside the way historians looks at the history and historical research, the ideological background of historical narratives and their public perception will also be discussed.
