Between the 11 and the 15 of July, the Between the Times Project organised a summer school focussed in comparative methods in transnational intellectual history. Students from all over Europe – and beyond –  gathered in Tallinn to discuss their work and learn new methods.

The summer school included keynote lectures from Georgios Varouxakis (QMUL), Eva Piirimäe (University of Tartu), Andres Kurg (Eesti Kunstiakadeemia) and a talk by Henry Mead (TLU).
