We will recruit a team of nine PhD candidates and ten postdoctoral researchers who, together with us PIs, will demonstrate that blockades are essential to understanding not only how the world wars were fought but also their global scope, totality, immediate effects, and long-term repercussions.

I am slightly biased, but my favourite thing about SHoW is the incredibly friendly and constructive atmosphere at our conferences. Everyone is there to learn, to help and support, to listen. Egos are checked, disciplinary boundaries traversed, and new ideas are born and nurtured.

From Amsterdam to Nicosia, SHoW conferences have sparked ideas, conversations, and friendships. This November, we meet again in Potsdam!
In the meantime, tell us your favourite SHoW memory—the best paper, panel, night out, or unexpected conversation. We’d love to hear what’s stuck with you.

Waar komen ideeën over een vijfde colonne vandaan?
Bij waarschuwingen voor een hybride oorlog met Rusland gaat het soms over een ‘vijfde colonne’. Waar komt die term vandaan?
Bij waarschuwingen voor een hybride oorlog met Rusland gaat het soms over een ‘vijfde colonne’. De uitdrukking stamt uit de Spaanse Burgeroorlog en is de afgelopen eeuw vooral gebruikt om vergaande maatregelen te nemen tegen minderheden, zegt @samuelkruizinga.bsky.social
