Organised by the Haus der Heimat des Landes Baden-Württemberg, a group of German teachers visited the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and the Department of German Language and Literature on 29 May 2026. The visit was organised with the aim of learning about the Croatian education system and exchanging experiences in the field of teaching.

During the morning, accompanied by members of the Department of German Language and Literature Martina Budimir, MA, Ivana Šarić Šokčević, PhD, Sanja Ivanović Grgurić, and Ana Keglević Blažević, the guests visited several secondary schools in Osijek: I Grammar School Osijek, II Grammar School Osijek, Jesuit Classical Grammar School, and the School of Economics and Administration Osijek.

During their visits to the schools, the German teachers spoke with school staff and gained insight into the organisation of work and curricula, teachers’ everyday work, and the position of the teaching profession in Croatian society.

After visiting the schools and taking a short break, the guests visited the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek in the afternoon. In the Small Council Hall, they were welcomed in German by Vice-Dean Associate Professor Sanja Jukić, PhD, while Associate Professor Ivana Jozić, PhD, welcomed the guests on behalf of the Department of German Language and Literature.

Following the introductory remarks, a round table entitled “Education and Professional Development of German Language Teachers” was held, with the participation of teachers and students from the Department of German Language and Literature. Guest participants in the discussion included Izabela Potnar Mijić, Senior Adviser for English and German at the Education and Teacher Training Agency, and Ninočka Truck-Biljan, PhD, Head of Teaching Practice for students enrolled in the teacher education tracks of German Language and Literature and English Language and Literature.

The programme concluded with a guided tour of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek.

Organised by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek and the Doctoral Programme in Modern and Contemporary Croatian History in a European and Global Context at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, the second Sociohistorical Workshop, entitled “Why Theory?”, was held on 23 May 2026. This year’s workshop examined the extent to which a theoretical framework is necessary for historical research and how it influences the formulation of research questions and the interpretation of historical sources.

At the beginning of the programme, Asst. Prof. Luka Pejić, PhD, welcomed the participants and emphasised that the aim of the Sociohistorical Workshop was to create an institutional platform for young historians interested in social history. He highlighted the importance of presenting current research, networking and exchanging research experiences among young historians, particularly noting that this year, thanks to the co-organisation, the workshop had moved beyond its local scope and included doctoral students from other universities. He especially stressed the importance of theoretical literacy among historians for producing high-quality historiographical work. As Chair of the Programme and Organising Committee, he also thanked his colleagues Valentina Kezić, MA, Franka Maslov, MA, Nikola Tomašegović, PhD, and Veronika Završki, MA.

The workshop opened with a keynote lecture by Assoc. Prof. Branimir Janković, PhD, from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, entitled “On the Uses and Disadvantages of Theory for the Life of a Historian”. The lecture provided a valuable introduction to the theoretical and methodological issues that were further explored throughout the workshop. The keynote was followed by a highly engaging discussion on the state of contemporary Croatian and regional historiography.

The programme was divided into three thematic sessions. In the first session, Franka Maslov presented the theoretical and methodological approaches used in her doctoral research on male and female homosexuality in Croatian society from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Doctoral student Marko Kolić discussed gender history through the study of the role and position of women in medicine in Croatia between the two world wars, while Perica Vujić presented on the language of historiographical discourse using history textbook discourse as an example.

The second session opened with Nina Gagulić’s presentation on the theory and methodology of oral history and contemporary perspectives and challenges associated with this research method. Doctoral student Dora Tomljanović examined the issue of economic nationalism “from below”, while Martin Zelić used the example of the Croatian National Theatre in Osijek during the First World War to illustrate the theoretical and methodological challenges of new cultural history.

In the final session, Rebeka Puhalo discussed the role of theory in military history research, using the 761st Tank Battalion during the Second World War as an example. Ilija Šušak emphasised the necessity of interdisciplinarity in contemporary historical scholarship, while Luka Vrbanić concluded the workshop with a presentation devoted to the archival arrangement of records and the role of archivists in shaping future historiography and collective memory.

Each session was followed by a discussion during which participants and members of the audience asked questions, shared comments and exchanged research experiences, further contributing to the workshop’s central purpose.

Through a diverse range of presentations and stimulating discussions, the workshop once again raised important questions concerning established theoretical and methodological models and historiographical paradigms. Ultimately, the latest edition of the Sociohistorical Workshop reaffirmed the essential role of theoretical literacy and constructive discussion in producing high-quality historical scholarship.

On 23 May 2026, field classes were held in Vukovar as part of the regular teaching activities in the courses 20th-Century Art, Museum Theory and Practice, and Research Methodology and Modes of Writing about Art within the undergraduate study programme in Art History. Four of the six third-year Art History students and eight of the eleven second-year Art History students participated.

The institutions in which the field classes took place were the Vukovar City Museum and the Vučedol Culture Museum. The following activities were carried out: at the Vukovar City Museum, classes were held within the museum’s permanent exhibition and the Bauer Collection exhibition. At the Vučedol Culture Museum, classes were held within the permanent exhibition.

The aim of the field classes was to introduce students to museums and current exhibition programmes and to provide them with an opportunity to analyse exhibitions for the purposes of writing seminar papers. The following expected outcomes of the field classes were achieved: familiarising students with the activities of two important museum institutions of the general and specialised type in eastern Croatia, as well as with the museological concepts of their permanent exhibitions. Furthermore, students became acquainted with styles, movements, artists and works of visual art from the 20th and 21st centuries, learned to recognise and identify 20th-century art styles, and examined examples of modern and postmodern art. By visiting the exhibitions, students gained insight into the exhibition activities of leading museum institutions and became familiar with various forms of museum communication, as well as with the museological aspects of interpreting museum objects.

As part of this year’s Pannonian Book Festival, the book Central Europe through the Eyes of Croatian Intellectuals in the Twentieth Century, edited by Domagoj Tomas and Tomislav Kardum, was presented on 21 May 2026. The presentation was held on the festival’s main stage and, in addition to the editors, featured Damir Agičić, who moderated the discussion, and Matej Vidaković, who offered the perspective of a reader from outside the field of history. The book is a collection of selected texts by Croatian intellectuals who reflected on the concept of Central Europe.

Reflecting on the book’s central theme, Vidaković pointed out that throughout history the concept of Central Europe has proved highly fluid and open to different interpretations. According to him, the editors present Central Europe as a region shaped between Russian and Orthodox influence on the one hand and the Germanic cultural and political sphere on the other. He particularly emphasised how interesting it is to trace the process through which the idea of Central Europe became part of intellectual and political discourse over time, especially after the communist period, when aspirations to “return” to the Central European civilisational sphere were frequently expressed in public. Vidaković also noted that the book provides a strong basis for further reflection on the concept of Central Europe, stressing that its meaning changes depending on social, political and cultural circumstances. Precisely because of this variability, he considers the concept to remain relevant and stimulating for contemporary intellectual debate.

Discussing their methodology, Tomas and Kardum explained that one of their main objectives was to define the criteria according to which the intellectuals and texts included in the book would be selected. The key criteria were the intellectual and social relevance of the authors, their belonging to the Croatian national context, the fact that the analysed texts were written during the twentieth century, and their comprehensive focus on Central Europe rather than isolated or fragmentary references to it. During the presentation, they also explained that the book consists of an introductory study and a selection of texts by Croatian intellectuals. The analysed texts can be divided into three historical periods: those written up to the end of the First World War, those written between 1918 and 1945, and those written between 1945 and 1989. They stressed that the selected authors’ understanding of Central Europe was strongly influenced by changing geopolitical circumstances and the social and historical turning points that marked the twentieth century.

In conclusion, Professor Tomas emphasised that Central Europe can be viewed from different perspectives: as a geopolitical, cultural and civilisational, and literary space, which is why it remains an important subject of historical and humanities research. The book presentation once again confirmed the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of identity and the intellectual history of Croatia. We extend our sincere congratulations to Professor Tomas.

On 20 May 2026, students visited the Belišće Town Museum as part of the course “Croatian and Regional Economic History of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries”. Under the expert guidance of the Museum Director, Nada Đilas Bosanac, the students toured the museum exhibition dedicated to the town’s industrial character.

Belišće was founded in 1884 by the company S. H. Gutmann d. d. for the purpose of exploiting Slavonia’s abundant forest resources, which had formed the basis of highly competitive business operations since the mid-nineteenth century. The company developed its operations by relying on the intensive exploitation of timber and its industrial processing. Given the predominantly rural character of nineteenth-century Slavonia, the population of Belišće consisted largely of an immigrant workforce associated with the town’s industrial development from the time of its foundation.

In this context, the Belišće Town Museum presents the development of the industrial colony, including the construction of residential buildings, supporting infrastructure and the railway network that connected forest exploitation sites with the surrounding civilian settlements. To maximise production, the company significantly developed various supporting industries connected with timber processing, particularly the chemical industry. One of Belišće’s distinctive characteristics is that a large proportion of its employed population continues to work in the industrial sector today.

On 18 May 2026, the book A rétfalui ekklesiai tanács gyűléseinek munkáit magába foglaló könyv (Minutes of the Retfala Church Council) was presented at the Reformed Church in Retfala by Denis Njari, PhD, a professor at the Department of History, and co-editor Marin Blaženović. The presentation began at 6 p.m. and brought together numerous guests from cultural, religious and academic circles.

The work presents and examines the minutes of the church council recorded between 1813 and 1863, making a valuable contribution to research into the local history of Retfala, as well as the broader social and cultural history of Slavonia in the nineteenth century.

Those in attendance included Robert Jankovics, a Member of the Croatian Parliament representing the Hungarian national minority; János Magdó, Consul General of Hungary; Péter Szenn, Bishop of the Reformed Christian Calvinist Church in Croatia; Zsombor Lábadi, Head of the Chair of Hungarian Language at our Faculty; and Dean Ivan Trojan.

Bishop Szenn emphasised the importance of historical works in understanding identity and community. He noted that publications of this kind contribute to a better understanding of one’s own past, origins and social values, as well as the importance of spirituality and faith in the lives of individuals and communities.

Dean Ivan Trojan expressed his satisfaction that the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek has among its professors an expert such as Denis Njari, whom he described as an outstanding authority on historiography and Hungarian culture. He also emphasised that projects of this kind make an important contribution to intercultural connections and the preservation of historical and cultural heritage.

Marin Blaženović presented the content and research significance of the work, explaining that the book was created with the aim of reconstructing the social, institutional and denominational development of Retfala between 1813 and 1863. Particular emphasis was placed on the value of the handwritten book of minutes as a source for studying the everyday life of the local community. “It is an administrative protocol register in which decisions, disputes concerning property and labour, disciplinary proceedings and other aspects of the parish’s internal life were recorded,” he noted during the presentation.

He also explained that he did not know Hungarian when the transcription process began, but successfully completed the transcription of the original material with the help of expert verification.

The minutes record offences, disputes, financial obligations, institutional decisions and various aspects of the internal life of the Reformed community. Since its creation in 1813, the manuscript has been kept at the Reformed Parish Office in Retfala and, according to available information, had not previously been subjected to systematic academic examination and research.

The physical characteristics of the book itself were also discussed during the presentation. The manuscript was written with a quill and ink. Its pages are not numbered, but the entries are dated and organised into paragraphs followed by the pastors’ signatures. The cursive handwriting, frequent abbreviations and minor damage provide further evidence of the source’s age and authenticity.

The event took place in a formal and pleasant atmosphere, and the presentation once again highlighted the importance of preserving and researching local historical heritage. Denis Njari received sincere congratulations on this valuable historiographical achievement, along with the hope that his future work will continue to contribute to the study of the history and cultural heritage of Slavonia.

Under the auspices of the Centre for Popular Culture at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and as part of Kliofest, students of History and English Language and Literature, joined by Branimir Kovačević, a student from the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences, staged an academic colloquium entitled Bridge over Troubled Waters: Looking Back at the 1970s, in collaboration with professors Danijel Jelaš, Ljubica Matek and Valentina Markasović.

On 14 May 2026, in the Small Ceremonial Hall of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek, the participants brought to life a period from which much can still be learned today through three sessions: Popular Culture, Music and Gender Politics.

The speakers in the first session, Popular Culture – Doris Radnić, Ivan Nemet and Branimir Kovačević, with Sanja Hes as moderator – explored the ways in which individuals expressed themselves at the time, the filmography and characteristics of horror films, and the reasons why New York was nicknamed Fear City.

The Music session was moderated by Lara Žarinac and featured presentations by Lana Trabak, Snežana Pavković, Daniel Huseinović, Ema Rosotrunović and Katarina Terzić. By examining the poetics of musical icons of the 1970s, the presentations confirmed the value of such colloquia in providing a more comprehensive understanding of the past through art and popular culture, as well as of the ways in which its various influences continue to shape the present.

The final session, Gender Politics, was moderated by student Doris Radnić and featured two presentations. Antonija Roguljić presented a paper entitled The Feminist Art Movement in the United States during the 1970s, while Lorena Jukić addressed the topic Roe v. Wade and the Social Transformation of American Women in the 1970s. Through detailed research and analysis, the speakers presented the social and political changes that shook society at the time but remain relevant today, encouraging the audience to think critically and, perhaps even more importantly, to engage in dialogue. In addition to the informative colloquium, the students gathered in the evening for a themed quiz and listening session, enjoying excellent music from the 1970s.

Through their creative approach, the participants demonstrated that history can be studied from a variety of perspectives, opening up opportunities for further research, including interdisciplinary approaches.

On Friday, 8 May 2026, the seminar on pedagogical entrepreneurship Pedagogue Outside the Box was held, led by Prof. Renata Jukić, PhD, Natali Bosić, MA in Pedagogy, owner of the Pedagoški kabinet business from Rijeka, and Mia Filipov, PhD, Teaching Assistant. The event was part of the FUZ&JA science popularisation project of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and was organised by the Department of Pedagogy. This three-hour seminar was intended for pedagogy students and graduate pedagogues considering careers outside the formal education system.

The seminar was opened by Renata Jukić with a brief lecture on service-learning and pedagogical entrepreneurship. Natali Bosić then shared her own experience of building a career outside the formal education system, from starting her own business to providing a detailed description of her business model and day-to-day operations. She also discussed the advantages and challenges of self-employment, as well as the pedagogical areas in which she develops her practice. In the second part of the seminar, a creative brainstorming session was held with the aim of developing participants’ pedagogical business ideas. The participants then elaborated their business ideas in accordance with the guidelines of the Croatian Employment Service (CES). In doing so, they practised the steps required to apply for the CES active labour market policy measure for self-employment. At the end of the seminar, they evaluated their business plans according to CES criteria in order to assess their feasibility and prepare for a potential application for state financial support.

Almost all participants stated in the evaluation forms that the seminar had helped them become more aware of the wide range of opportunities available to pedagogues outside the formal education system (“I had not considered it before because I was not sufficiently informed, but now I see it as a possible option.”). Participants also recognised the seminar as a valuable addition to the pedagogy study programme, particularly in the context of preparation for entrepreneurship, indicating a need for a more systematic inclusion of such content in the study programme. However, the students also recognised the importance of their own proactivity and creativity in responding to labour market needs (“(…) I can and should bring my ideas to life.”). Finally, most participants expressed openness to the idea of starting their own pedagogical business, at least as an option they intend to explore in the future.

A video report from the seminar is available HERE.

From 5 to 7 May 2026, staff and students of the Department of History took part in a study trip to Sarajevo. They were joined by other interested students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek. During their three-day stay in Sarajevo, they visited the Faculty of Philosophy and the Oriental Institute, where they learned more about the study of history and historiography in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were warmly welcomed by their colleagues from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and special thanks are extended to Prof. Amila Kasumović, PhD, and Senior Associate Amer Maslo for their assistance in organising these visits. In addition, the students and staff of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek visited several local heritage institutions, including the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The visit to Sarajevo proved to be an excellent opportunity for learning and socialising. The Department of History intends to continue organising study trips of this kind in the future with the aim of further enriching the student experience and strengthening academic cooperation.

On 29 April 2026, from 10:35 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in Room 32, Assoc. Prof. Miroslav Pavlović, PhD, from the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, delivered a lecture as part of the elective course “Croatian Lands under Ottoman Rule”. The lecture was intended for first-year students of the double-major graduate study programme in History, as well as all other interested students and Faculty staff. The lecture was entitled The Middle Danube Region under Ottoman Rule. The lecturer presented his research into various aspects of Ottoman rule in the Middle Danube region, encompassing parts of present-day Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary and Serbia. During the lecture, he engaged students in a discussion on conditions in the Ottoman provinces located in the territory of present-day Croatia and explained how the Ottoman Empire influenced their social and economic development during the early modern period. Following the highly inspiring and engaging lecture, the students and faculty members in attendance asked the guest lecturer several questions about the topics discussed.

On Wednesday, 1 April 2026, as part of the planned guest lectures at the Chair of Art History, a guest lecture was delivered by Prof. Dragan Damjanović, PhD, from the Department of Art History at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. The lecture was held as part of the course 20th-Century Art within the undergraduate study programme in Art History, in classroom 34, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. The lecture was attended by students enrolled in the third year of the undergraduate study programme in Art History. The topic of the lecture was modern architecture in the first half of the 20th century. As a leading Croatian expert in the history of 19th- and 20th-century architecture, Prof. Dragan Damjanović, PhD, provided an overview of European and global architecture, as well as the most important Croatian examples, and presented a number of interesting details that helped shape the cultural, historical and political context of the emergence and development of modern architecture in Europe and America. The highly engaging and successfully delivered lecture was held as part of the curriculum of the course 20th-Century Art.

On Sunday, 30 March 2025, the sixth cycling tour of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek was held along the Osijek – Kopački Rit route. In addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle and introducing participants to the local natural heritage, the main aim of the cycling tour was to inform the public about the challenges faced by people with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. This year’s cycling tour was once again organised in support of the Croatian Library Association’s “I Want to Read Too” campaign, which the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek officially joined in 2019.

This year’s organising team once again included the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek, the Libros Information Sciences Student Club and the Psihos Psychology Student Club, the City and University Library Osijek, the Association of Librarians of Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem, the Osijek branch of the Croatian Reading Association, SUVAG Polyclinic Osijek, and the City Association for Sports Recreation “Sport for All”.

Despite the bad weather in the preceding days, Sunday was sunny, and 59 participants completed the 30-kilometre route along the Drava River embankment. Thanks to the sponsorship of Osijek City Transport, several participants who did not own bicycles were also able to take part in the ride. Before departure, Eleonora Matić, a police officer for prevention from the Office of the Head of the Osijek-Baranja Police Administration, introduced the participants to traffic rules for cyclists and distributed suitable promotional materials.

At the finish, participants took a short break with refreshments and listened to a very interesting presentation about Kopački Rit Nature Park and its plant and animal life.

Although students made up the majority of participants in this year’s cycling tour, several pupils from Class 4A of Franjo Krežma Primary School confirmed through their participation that the route can be completed without extensive preparation. We therefore take this opportunity to invite members of the public to join us in even greater numbers next year.
