This course offers an introduction into major theories and schools relevant for global history. It will familiarize students with important methodological approaches by means of case studies and closer looks at sub-disciplines. One focus will be on perspectives and critique developed from the Global South, not least to answer global history’s call to overcome Eurocentrism.
