Dear all,
The University of Tübingen (UT), the University of Vienna (UV), the University of Gothenburg (UG), and the American Historical Association (AHA) are pleased to announce the sixth International Seminar in Historical Refugee Studies, which will be held at the University of Vienna, September 28 - October 1, 2026. The deadline for applications is December 20, 2025. To apply, see attached Call for Papers or visit the Seminar website https://rhs.hypotheses.org.
The purpose of this seminar is to promote the historical study of refugees, who are too often regarded as a phenomenon of recent times. By viewing the problem of refugees from a historical perspective, the seminar seeks to complicate and contextualize our understanding of peoples who have fled political or religious conflicts, persecution, and violence. By bringing together 14 advanced PhD students and early postdocs from different parts of the world whose individual research projects examine refugees in different times and places, we intend to give a sense of purpose to this emerging field of study and demonstrate the value of viewing the plight of refugees from a historical perspective.
We invite contributions from recent PhDs, as well as young scholars in the final stages of their dissertations. In addition to historians, we also encourage applications from researchers working in fields such as sociology, political science, anthropology, ethnic and area studies that engage with historical dimensions. Possible contributions include:
* Studies of refugee movements and exile diasporas in various periods and places;
* Studies of the ethnic, gendered, racial, religious, and other characteristics of refugee groups and how they impact on reception policies and processes;
* Studies of reception and aid policies, and on the repercussions of refugees on host states and societies;
* Studies of the changing inter-state framework of refugee movements, such as international or inter-imperial cooperation, the role of international governmental or non-governmental actors, humanitarian organizations, etc.;
* Studies of the infrastructures of exile (camps, networks, economies, regulations)
* Studies of the conceptual history of refugees and exile (legal history, administrative practice, cultural history, etc.)
For more information, see attached Call for Papers or visit https://rhs.hypotheses.org.
Please feel free to circulate this call to anyone who might be interested.
All best,
Sari

Starting a workout routine can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming for beginners. From choosing the right exercises to staying motivated, there’s a lot to consider. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you get started and build a successful fitness habit.
https://physicalfitness360s.blogspot.com/
1. Set Clear and Achievable Goals
Before you start exercising, define your goals. Are you aiming to lose weight, gain strength, or improve overall health? Having clear goals helps you stay focused and motivated.
Tips:
Make goals specific and measurable.
Break long-term goals into weekly or monthly milestones.
Celebrate small achievements to stay motivated.
2. Start Slow and Progress Gradually
Many beginners make the mistake of pushing too hard in the beginning. This can lead to injuries or burnout.
Tips:
Start with 2–4 workouts per week.
Focus on proper form rather than heavy weights or intense sessions.
Gradually increase intensity, duration, or weight over time.
3. Learn Proper Form
Proper technique is crucial to prevent injuries and ensure effective workouts.
Tips:
Watch tutorials or ask a trainer for guidance.
Use mirrors to check your posture.
Focus on quality of movement, not just quantity.
4. Include Different Types of Exercises
A balanced workout routine should include:
Cardio: Running, cycling, or brisk walking for heart health.
Strength Training: Bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or weights for building muscle.
Flexibility: Stretching or yoga to improve mobility and prevent injuries.
5. Warm-Up and Cool-Down
Skipping warm-ups and cool-downs can increase injury risk and delay recovery.
Tips:
Warm-up: 5–10 minutes of light cardio or dynamic stretches.
Cool-down: 5–10 minutes of stretching or slow walking.
6. Focus on Nutrition
Exercise alone isn’t enough to see results. A balanced diet is essential.
Tips:
Eat protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs.
Stay hydrated.
Avoid excessive processed foods and sugary drinks.
7. Track Your Progress
Tracking your workouts helps you stay accountable and see improvements.
Tips:
Keep a workout journal or use an app.
Note sets, reps, weights, and duration.
Take progress photos or measurements.
8. Rest and Recovery
Your body needs time to repair and grow stronger. Overtraining can be counterproductive.
Tips:
Include rest days in your routine.
Get 7–8 hours of sleep per night.
Listen to your body and adjust intensity if needed.
9. Stay Consistent
Consistency is the key to long-term success. Results take time, so be patient and stick to your routine.
Tips:
Create a schedule that fits your lifestyle.
Focus on building habits, not quick fixes.
Avoid comparing yourself to others.
10. Make It Fun
Enjoying your workouts makes it easier to stick with them.
Tips:
Try new classes or workouts.
Listen to music or podcasts while exercising.
Workout with friends or join online fitness communities.
Conclusion
Starting a fitness journey as a beginner can be challenging, but with the right approach, it becomes manageable and rewarding. Focus on clear goals, proper form, balanced workouts, and consistency. Over time, you’ll notice improvements in strength, stamina, and overall health.

Hello everyone,
I’ve been researching how digital casual games and mini-games influence local culture, especially in Southeast Asia. Many of these games spread rapidly through informal online communities, APK sharing platforms, and small local developer ecosystems.
My question for the group:
Has anyone come across research papers or historical documentation about how *local game modes and card/domino styles* evolve when they move into digital environments? I am interested in how culture, rules, and design adapt across regions.
Any directions, journals, or archives would be appreciated. Thank you!
Regards,
Eliza

Organized and convened by Dr. Victoria Van Orden Martínez, Lund University, Sweden
Hosted by The North European Center for Research on Antisemitism and the Holocaust (NORAH) at Lund University, Sweden.
Chair: Dr. Victoria Van Orden Martínez, Researcher in History, Lund University and NORAH
Speakers:
Professor Thomas Cauvin, Professor of Public History, University of Luxembourg
Dr. Laura Aguiar, Lecturer in Cinematic Arts, Ulster University, Northern Ireland
Tomasz Lesniak, Library assistant, Lund University Library, Sweden
Dr. Ming Gao, Research scholar of East Asia studies, Lund University, Sweden
Description:
Archives are where researchers of all types – students, practitioners, academics, and the public – gather and mediate knowledge of the past. In turn, this knowledge forms the narratives that shape societies and our increasingly transnational and globalized world. The openness and availability of archives and the research that stems from them are thus of vital importance to the creation of balanced and nuanced narratives that promote democracy and equality. This begs questions about how to achieve open archives and accessible research that engage the public through different media, resulting in more inclusive public history engagements. This workshop, hosted by the North European Center for Research on Antisemitism and the Holocaust at Lund University (NORAH), is geared towards academics, practitioners, archivists, students, and others who engage with archives, research, and/or public history or want to reach the public. Participants have the opportunity not only to listen to experts in public history education, open archives, multimedia content creation, and public history writing share their experiences and best practices, but also to interact with them personally for meaningful personal advice and expertise.
Program:
13:00 – Welcome and Opening Remarks: Professor Barbara Törnquist-Plewa, Professor of European Studies, Lund University, and Dr. Victoria Van Orden Martínez, Researcher in History, Lund University and NORAH
13:30 – Dr. Thomas Cauvin, Professor of Public History, University of Luxembourg (lead, Public History and Outreach research area) and Dr. Laura Aguiar, Lecturer in Cinematic Arts, Ulster University, Northern Ireland (Multimedia producer)
Archives in Public History
The presentation explores what makes archives truly public within the context of public history. It examines how archives have evolved from static repositories to dynamic spaces, questioning issues of selection, censorship, accessibility, and corporate control. Through examples of inclusive and community-driven practices, we’ll consider how archives can engage the public, challenge dominant narratives, and activate their role in shaping collective memory.

14:45 – Tomasz Lesniak, Library assistant, Lund University Library, Sweden (authority on the UNESCO Memory of the World-designated Ravensbrück Archive at Lund University Library)
A Short History of The Polish Research Institute in Lund
In the final months of World War II, thousands of survivors from Nazi concentration camps were evacuated to southern Sweden through large-scale humanitarian operations led by the Red Cross and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Among those who stepped forward to support these survivors was Zygmunt Lakociński (1905–1987), a Polish lecturer at Lund University. During his visits to refugee camps housing Polish citizens, Lakociński encountered many survivors and listened to their deeply personal and harrowing stories. Driven by a commitment to preserve these vital testimonies, he founded the Polish Research Institute in 1945. The Institute’s mission was to document the experiences of Polish survivors, especially those who had endured the horrors of Nazi concentration camps. Since 2015, I have had the privilege of overseeing the archive of the Polish Research Institute in Lund. This archive preserves an invaluable collection of personal histories and research materials that continue to shed light on the resilience and suffering of Polish survivors during and after the war.
15:15 – Dr. Ming Gao, Research scholar of East Asia studies, Lund University, Sweden (leading writer for The Conversation)
Connecting the Past, the Present, and the Public
This talk explores how historians can bridge the gap between scholarship and public life, transforming academic research into narratives that resonate with contemporary issues. Drawing on personal examples from platforms like The Conversation and other forms of public scholarship, it considers how public history can inform debate, influence policy, and make an impact both domestically and internationally.
