This Übung(exercise), which takes the form of a global history colloquium, offers an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the intricate tapestry of global historical narratives through direct interactions with leading historians and up and coming scholars. Each week, experts specializing in different geographical regions and epochs—from African and Latin American, to European history and beyond—share their cutting-edge research and unique perspectives. This course emphasizes the interconnectedness of global events, the impact of cultural exchanges and wars and the evolution of ideas. Students will critically engage with topics such as warfare, colonialism, revolution, economic transformations, and cultural movements through lively discussions and debates. This immersive experience not only broadens historical knowledge but, through workshopping work in progress, also hones the analytical skills necessary for advanced historical scholarship. As students, you will have the chance to contribute to scholarly discussions and gain insights from the forefront of historical research. Speakers will present mostly in English but German presentations are also possible.
