  • Welcome to CES

    The new Centre for European Studies supports a broad, transnational view of Europe, embodied through the collective work of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and visiting scholars across the Social Sciences and Humanities.

  • How the Centre for European Studies engages

    Through its speaker series, research colloquia, and other events, the Centre provides a collegial and stimulating space for critical examinations and discussions of the legacies of Europe and its constituent parts, European current affairs and scholarship, and European cultures and societies, broadly conceived.
