Global History: Between Questions and Answers
Seminar with Dr Francesca Trivellato, Andrew W. Mellon Professor at the School of Historical Studies, Institute for Advanced Study (IAS).
Abstract
What is global history? The question remains urgent and yet elusive. This seminar will be an occasion not to try and offer new and conclusive answers but rather to turn the elusive and sometimes even contradictory nature of global history into the object of our analysis. A precirculated text will form the basis of the discussion but everyone is invited to contribute their experience and insights.
