In three weeks, on Friday May 16, we are organising a new event with the RSPH PhD council. From 13:00 onwards, we will take a tour through the archives of the IISG in Amsterdam. We will hear about the inner workings of the archives, the challenges of keeping an ever-expanding archive, and the usefulness of the IISG for political historians. Afterwards there will of course be drinks! If you want to join, please send an email to j.lammertsvanbueren@uu.nl before May 12 🗓️. We are looking forward to seeing many of you there!

The APH is hosting preparatory webinars on May 7 and 21 for the conference “How to Decolonize Political History” June 18-20 in Antwerp. More information can be found here. 
The organization encourages OPG members to attend the congress, even if they do not speak! You can register until June 11 via the registration form. Take a look at the program.

A report from the symposium (28 February 2025) by Thomas van Gaalen.
From miners’ strikes to environmental demonstrations, and from cold war congresses to the writings of Anton de Kom: the term “solidarity,” which roughly denotes a relation of mutual support based on shared political interests, has held a central place in leftist political discourse from the last 150 years.
