Conference Report: Zeitenwende im Baltikum und in der Baltistik (Turning Times in the Baltics and in Baltic Studies)

Summary/Abstract: For a few years now, public interest in the Baltics has been increasing sharply. The main reason for this is the current geopolitical situation after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the important role that the Baltic States play as a political as well as military frontier against Russia and Belarus. At the same time, knowledge about the peoples, languages, culture and history of the Baltics still remains limited among the general public. As an academic field that comprises a wide range of disciplines in the humanities pertaining to the Baltics in particular, Baltic Studies (Baltistik) has the genuine duty to preserve and cultivate this knowledge.
