Grant Activity: Duties include teaching one weekly 4 hour seminar in the contemporary history master's program. The grantee will also lead one 2 hour seminar every week. Some seminars will be organized by the international network "Meetings in the South", which joins researchers from the host institution with researchers from Spain and Italy. The theme of these seminars will be "War and Peace". Other seminars will be hosted by the host institution. These will be open seminars that are offered to master's and Ph.D. students free of charge.
