About the project “A Global Campus: universities, cultural transfers and experiencies in the 20th century”

This project aims to analyze the social, cultural, political and diplomatic dimension of university life, taking the space and the notion of campus (real, symbolic, imagined or transferred) as the concrete setting for these developments.

We understand the university campus from a double dimension: as a continent and as a space full of content and meanings. Our approach to this dual object of study, the campuses and the experiences developed in them, combines points of view from different domains.

The main objective of this project is to offer a global portrait of the university campuses in all their dimensions and interrelation capacities in order to know about them those aspects that go far beyond the basic functions expected of the university: teaching and research.

We have had at least three frames in which include and share our researches: the Complutense Research Group EXPEhistoria: ideas, knowledge and experiences, the Complutense Seminar on Universities’ History and CIAN- Journal of the History of the Universities.
