News from the Global History and Culture Centre

Dear colleagues and friends,

on Wednesday, 3 November 2021, researchers from Edinburgh and Munich will come together in an online roundtable on 'Disconnection and (institutional) cooperation in Global History鈥�. The roundtable considers how the concept of 鈥歞isconnect鈥� could be useful for thinking about the research agenda of global history and its relationship to the present – and how to counter 鈥歞isconnect鈥� at an

institutional level.

Confirmed speakers are: Christina Brauner (T眉bingen/Munich), Jeremy Dell, Meha Priyadarshini (both Edinburgh) and Roland Wenzlhuemer (Munich). The event will be chaired by Ismay Milford (Edinburgh).

The online event will be hosted on MS Teams. Please register, if you want to participate. More information on the ECGH programme and the registration links can be found on the Edinburgh ECGH website.

See you there!

Roland (Wenzlhuemer)
