On the invitation of our Related Project “Scanderbegus Latinus – The Image of Skanderbeg in Neo-Latin Literature”, Prof. Gentiana Kera (University of Tirana) gave a guest lecture on Thursday, 7 May 2026, entitled “Teaching the Past: Skanderbeg and History Education in Socialist Albania”.

In her lecture, Prof. Kera examined how the portrayal of Skanderbeg and his struggle against the Ottomans in history textbooks of the socialist period aimed to strengthen the official narrative of Albanian resistance and to align it with the ideology of the regime and its leader Enver Hoxha.
