The Josep Termes Circle promotes research in history, nationalities, and political science from a humanistic perspective. It is aimed at professionals and graduates in the humanities—history, philosophy, philology, linguistics, art history, archaeology, political science, music, library and information science, sociology, and cultural studies—by fostering the production of content suited to today’s information society.
The Josep Termes Circle hosts the Research Group on National Studies and Cultural Policies (GRENPoC-UB), which is a subgroup within the Research Group on Political Studies, Identities, Institutions, and Corruption (GREPIIC-UAB), recognized by AGAUR as a Consolidated Research Group (GRC 2021 SGR 00053). The Circle therefore has an inter-university, interdisciplinary, and global vocation.
The Circle is inspired by the historiographical thought of Dr. Josep Termes i Ardèvol (1936–2011), particularly his work on Catalanism, social and national movements, and collective memory.
