Biography

Jean-François Berdah was born in Paris in 1961. He first studied at the University of Paris X Nanterre (1981–1985), at the University of Göttingen (1983–1984), at the European Institute of High International Studies in Strasbourg (IHEE) (1987–1988) and finally at the Casa de Velázquez (Institute for High Hispanic Studies, Madrid http://www.casadevelazquez.org/en/accueil/) (1992–1994). He held DAAD scholarships in 1983–1984 and 1988, and promoted in 1996 at Paris 12 Val de Marne University. He was elected at the University of Toulouse II - Le Mirail in 1998. His lectures are focused on Modern European history (19th–20th century), and more specifically on the history of European peripheries in a comparative perspective.

He was offered an external senior fellowship at the School of History of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) from October 2009 to September 2010 to develop a new research on the "Fringes of Europe" in a comparative perspective from the 18th to the 20th century. He also participated in several European academic networks of excellence, CLIOHNET, CLIOHNET 2 (2002–2005), CLIOHRES (2005–2010) and is currently in charge of the team represented in CLIOH-WORLD since 2008 on behalf of the University of Toulouse II - Le Mirail.

He is co-founder and chief-editor of the Revue d'Histoire Nordique since 2005, a bilingual French-English historical review dedicated to the history and civilisation of both Scandinavia and the Baltic countries, and director of the Centre of Excellence Jean Monnet of the University of Toulouse II-Le Mirail.

He has mainly written on Spanish Modern history, for instance Spanish foreign policy during the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War (1931–1939) with regard to the great powers and the Spanish Republican exile in France after 1936–1939, but he also published articles about Scandinavian modern history. He is now involved in a broad research project dedicated to the peripheries of Europe (i.e. Northern Europe, East-Central and South-Eastern Europe and Mediterranean Europe) from the 18th to the 20th century.
