Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This series of lectures will introduce different themes and approaches to Global History, spanning from comparative and connected histories to world systems analysis, the “Great Divergence” debate and Global Labor History. Different world regions and topics will be scrutinized but more emphasis is given to labor issues, socio-economic development, migration, questions of periodization, cultural exchange and entanglements, as well as the history of capitalism in Asia and Europe. The main focus is on the period between the 16th and 19th centuries even though earlier and later periods will also be covered.

Most of the lectures will be given by expert historians and social scientists who have been invited by the lecture series organizer. The lectures will last about 45 minutes and are followed by questions and discussions.
