Invitation to a roundtable discussion from Roland Wenzlhuemer

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‘. The roundtable considers how the concept of ‚disconnect‘ could be useful for thinking about the research agenda of global history and its relationship to the present – and how to counter ‚disconnect‘ at an

institutional level.

Confirmed speakers are: Christina Brauner (Tübingen/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)
