Conference on Believers on the Move from East-Central and South-Eastern Europe, Fischbachau
The organizers invite papers for the Annual Conference of the Collegium Carolinum in cooperation with the German Historical Institute Rome (Max Weber Foundation) and the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Science on Believers on the Move from East-Central and South-Eastern Europe: Religious Migration Regimes and Diaspora Policies (1930s to 1960s) in Fischbachau, November 12–16, 2026. Focus will be on religion as a reason for flight and expulsion, but also its role during and after the migration process itself. Religious actors (dignitaries, organizations, interest groups, etc.) could be part of this process, influence it or be subjected to forced exile themselves. The aim of the Collegium Carolinum’s annual conference 2026 is to shed light on the role of religious actors and the significance of religious affiliation on migration movements from Eastern Europe from the 1930s to the 1960s. ‘Religion’ refers to the three major religious communities in East-Central and South-Eastern Europe: Christianity (Catholicism, Protestantism and Orthodoxy), Judaism and Islam.
