Since our whole team participated in the conference “Memory and Populism from Below”, we used this opportunity to meet for the last time in 2024 in December, in Prague.

 Despite the busy conference schedule, we also managed to have some project meetings. We took time to look back at what we achieved in 2024 and made plans for 2025.  

In 2024, each of us spent several weeks doing field research. As a team, we published six articles in academic journals. At a meeting in Greifswald in early autumn we prepared the basis for our future book. 

In 2025, we will gradually complete our field research, and concentrate on working on the book. In addition to the meeting devoted to planning, we also had a walking seminar in Prague’s Stromovka Park where we discussed broader topics connected to our research. The foggy December weather inspired us to think about hauntology and take some stylish photos as well.
