Historians are no strangers to crises. We read and write abou t crises in history. We work and live in a time of crises - political\, ec onomic and environmental. And we grapple with all manner of intellectual\, professional and personal crises as individuals\, from archival absences to job precarity to bereavement. But what defines a crisis? What does a cr isis do to those caught in their midst? Can crises be a distraction from o ther\, important historical phenomena that are worthy of research? In this two-day workshop\, we will reflect on how crises shape our work as histor ians. \;

Crises are not only events we analyse\; they also sha pe the very conditions under which historical knowledge is produced. Perio ds of crisis often generate intensified documentation\, and they can also shape the gaps\, distortions or silences that characterize archival record s. Reflecting on crises allows us to identify methodological opportunities and reflect on epistemological challenges: what does it mean to read mate rials created under exceptional pressure or uncertainty\, and how do we ac count for the conditions of their emergence?
