ISHA Marburg is the local section of the International Students of History Association at Philipps-Universität Marburg.

Our aim is to make it easier for students from different parts of Europe and the world to meet each other, discuss history and related sciences, explore foreign countries, and in doing so, form new friendships and broaden their horizons.

ISHA is best understood by visiting an ISHA event. There are several seminars and a conference each year, covering a multitude of topics and taking place in many different countries. A great seminar for example, took place in Leuven, Belgium in February 2011, while the next event – autumn seminar – will be in Turku, Finland. Teresa will take part, so you are always welcome to ask her about the seminar or about news from the General Assembly.

In January 2010, ISHA Marburg hosted the ISHA Weekend Seminar titled “Being a Historian. Opportunities and Responsibilities in Past and Present.” More than thirty students from around Europe met up and discussed what studying history has meant to historians in the past, which chances and challenges historical science has to offer, and finally, what our perspectives as students of history are today.

We meet regularly. The date varies. Just write us an e-mail to get updated via our newsletter.

At the moment we are working on a series of lectures with the main topic
“Migration, Integration und kulturelle Vielfalt in der Geschichte”. If somebody would like to participate or is interested to hear more about it, please just write an e-mail.
