Welcome

TAPAS/Thinking About the PASt is an interdisciplinary forum for reflection on our relation with the past, based at Ghent University. Combing historiographical, philosophical, post-colonial, anthropological and sociological approaches, TAPAS’ aim is to give young researchers the opportunity to share their views, create a broad intellectual network, get feedback about their own work, and to organize trans-disciplinary reading groups and workshops on topics which are too uncommon in their own discipline.
