Пра кангрэс:

Кангрэс даследчыкаў гісторыі PL-LT-UA-BY: «Гістарычная супольнасць чатырох народаў — спадчына ідэй і будучыя перспектывы» адбудзецца ў Варшаве 13-16 верасня 2024 года.

Для ўдзельнікаў Кангрэсу гэта магчымасць выступіць на тэматычных панэльных дыскусіях і знайсці патэнцыйных партнёраў для новых сумесных даследаванняў, бо мерапрыемства аб’яднае больш за 200 гісторыкаў з розных краін свету.

Мэта канферэнцыі – прадставіць гісторыю, палітычную культуру і агульную спадчыну 4 народаў: Польшчы, Літвы, Украіны і Беларусі ў наратыве гісторыі ўсяго рэгіёна Цэнтральнай і Усходняй Еўропы.

Удзел у Кангрэсе – гэта магчымасць узяць удзел у тэматычных панэльных дыскусіях і знайсці патэнцыйных партнёраў для новых сумесных даследаванняў.

Мы плануем вынесці на абмеркаванне, у прыватнасці, такія пытанні:

  • Якія новыя падыходы да вывучэння сацыяльнай гісторыі могуць быць прапанаваныя для больш глыбокага разумення ўзаемадзеяння паміж народамі рэгіёна?
  • Якое месца займае «расійскае пытанне» ў гісторыі чатырох народаў і як яго варта інтэрпрэтаваць сёння?
  • Як можна пераасэнсаваць інтэрпрэтацыю канфліктаў у рэгіёне, улічваючы новыя гістарычныя дадзеныя і падыходы?
  • Якія новыя перспектывы адкрываюцца для вывучэння вызваленчых рухаў у Цэнтральна-Усходняй Еўропе?
  • Як можна пераасэнсаваць уплыў расійскага камунізму і імперыялізму ў сучасным гістарычным кантэксце?
  • Як пераасэнсаваць нацыянальныя палітыкі і культуры памяці ў рэгіёне Україна–Літва–Беларусь–Польшча, каб зрабіць іх больш транснацыянальнымі?

Працоўныя мовы кангрэса: беларуская, англійская для агульных панэляў; мовы тэматычных панэляў будуць вызначаны ў свой час.

In 2009, Robert I. Frost was awarded a three-year Research Chair by the British Academy and the Wolfson Foundation to write a history of the Polish-Lithuanian union. Oxford University Press published the first volume of this study in 2015: The Oxford History of Poland-Lithuania, volume 1: The Making of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, 1385–1569. Volume 1 was awarded the Pro Historia Polonorum prize in 2017 for the best work on Polish History published by a foreign author between 2012 and 2017. He was awarded a three-year Leverhulme Major Fellowship (2016–2019) to work on volume 2, The Making of the Polish-Lithuanian Republic, 1569-1648, which is nearing completion.

He is interested in the history of eastern and northern Europe from the 14th to the 18th century. Apart from the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Union, his main research interests focus on the history of warfare in the Polish-Lithuanian monarchy under the Vasa dynasty (1587–1668), and in noble society and culture.
