Abstract :
[en] Women from all horizons played a crucial role in the post-war European project, including democratic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe and EU Eastern enlargement. However, their impact remained under-explored, even if recent shifts in historical practice have led to a reinsertion of women in a wide-range of disciplines. The objectives of 1). nurturing advancement of the research agenda on the role of
women in European cooperation, including EU eastward enlargement, through the creation of new sources, and 2). building new approaches to gendering European integration history in the digital era, are at the heart of two ongoing Oral History research projects by Dr Elena Danescu (PI): A).
