The main goal of this initiative is to enable exchange between scholars specialised in different periods and fields. Building on the success of our first season that took place in the first half of 2022, this time we focus on East Central Europe, covering the lands of the former Habsburg Monarchy and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

The main goal of this initiative is to enable exchange between scholars specialised in different periods and regions, most prominently the ones studying the Eastern European Uniates/Greek Catholics and experts in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern communities of non-Latin Catholics and other Christians. Each seminar will take place in a roundtable format with two or three informal presentations followed by a general discussion.

Because defenses of Polish independence in this period were often designed for a european public, the multi-religious heritage of Poland-Lithuania's past provided resources to shape Polish politics for a variety of audiences and their differing political and religious values. european and Polish publics saw the Russian empire as religiously intolerant, and therefore Poles crafted histories of Poland that offered an explicit counterpoint to this perception of Russia: a Polish tradition of religious coexistence. as long as these international geopolitical appeals remained a dominant part of their political imaginations, Polish intellectuals conceived of Poland in a multiconfessional manner. Polish intellectuals in the first half of the nineteenth century did not conflate Polish national identity with Roman Catholicism but framed their ideas against the multi-religious legacy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, by tying the question of Polish independence so strongly to the religious sphere, the figures in this article laid the groundwork for future developments in Polish nationalism in later (and more confessionally rigid) periods.

Nearly two centuries later, Jagieho's heir and the last of the Jagiellonian line, Sigismund II Augustus, would preside over the Union of Lublin (1569), which joined the peoples of Poland and Lithuania into a common political community. The relationship between Poland and Lithuania would no longer depend on whether or not the same individual ascended to each throne. Robert Frost's new book tells the story of the formation of this political union, centering on a series of successful and failed treaties between Poles and Lithuanians, including the Krewo Act (1385), the Vilnius-Radom treaty (1401), the Union of Horodlo (1413), the failed Union of Mielnik (1501), and Lublin (1569).
