Lecture series: Urban Governance and Civic Participation in Words and Stone in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period
The theme of the SUN-OSUN course was also the motto of a lecture series entitled Urban Governance and Civic Participation in Words and Stone in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period, convened by three members of the course faculty (Zoe Opačić, Susanne Rau, and Katalin Szende) and hosted by the CEU Democracy Institute and the Department of Medieval Studies in the Fall term of 2021. In this series, twelve renowned experts addressed the issue of urban governance in a broader framework beyond Central Europe. Topics discussed included the general question of citizenship; the development of urbanism in the Mediterranean after the fall of the Roman Empire; the Italian communes, and many more, extending to the Ottoman Empire and Southeast Asia.
