Such an exciting panel, with cycling shirts as uniform not mandatory but definitely welcomed!🚴

Patrick Bijsmans @patrickbijsmans.bsky.social · Sep 2

Had a great time presenting my #cycling paper on the #Europeanness of pro cycling and attempts to globalise the sport. Helpful questions, remarks from the audience during the first ever @uaces.bsky.social cycling panel!

Hearing about the challenges of inter/intradisciplarity in developing European integration history, the erasure of women, of its geopolitical past which echoes strongly now and the need to move beyond diplomatic history and consider social and societal actors #uaces2025

Great turnout at first plenary, picture of audience during q&a.
