Our series responds to the need for an interdisciplinary platform and invites scholars to contribute to a holistic understanding of the historical and contemporary complexities of Central and Eastern Europe—a region that has become pivotal to European and global relations in recent years.

The series is dedicated to studies using space as an analytic tool and a category to scrutinize the framing of minorities from the 19th century onward in both geographical and discursive spaces. Manuscripts investigate the factors that affect the perception and self-perception of groups that are considered minorities based on their ethnicity, language, social status, or gender. Possible topics include the dichotomy of overcoming peripheral positions versus cultivating in-between states, the agency of marginalized groups transitioning from the periphery of society to the center, and the dynamic redefinition, appropriation, and rebranding of geographical, social, or fictive spaces.

The series also invites exploration of the historical contexts and social dynamics that have shaped marginalization in Central and Eastern Europe, with the goal of providing a comprehensive understanding of the region's development and contemporary condition.
