The aim of the School is to bring together young academics and university teachers from the NIS and Europe, and to introduce them (under the guidance of internationally renowned scholars) to several influential contemporary trends of historical research. Of the two courses offered, Historical Anthropology will focus on methodological issues, while the History of Household, Family and Kinship will demonstrate the possibilities of applying new methods in teaching in this field. Different forms of instruction and learning – lectures, seminars, discussion groups and field trips – are intended to help the participants elaborate effective devices of teaching these disciplines at their universities.
