Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Global historians need specialists, but specialists have yet to be convinced that they need global historians. How might global history promote its perceived relationship with specialists from the parasitic to the symbiotic? How might it enhance, encourage, and perhaps help focus specialist research?
Can global historians achieve some consensus on the meaning of core concepts, and so shift debate to deeper levels of analysis?
How does one tackle the practical difficulties of working across time, cultures, and space? Do these push us towards multi-skilled teams of scholars rather than individuals?
