Call for Applications: Global History Student Conference 2024
We are extremely pleased to announce the Global History Student Conference will return in 2024! The conference will be held from June 7-9, 2024, in Berlin, at the Friedrich-Meinecke-Institut of the Freie Universität.
Global history targets relations, flows, and actors that challenge the assumption of the nation-state as a natural and inevitable category of historical analysis. It calls attention to the importance of transnational, trans-regional, or trans-local connections and their influence on the past. We invite scholars of the modern, early modern, medieval or classical periods to consider submitting their research. Moreover, global history not only challenges geographical borders, but also tends to transcend disciplinary boundaries. Accordingly, we welcome proposals from any academic field that has points of contact with history (e.g. art history, area studies, social sciences, etc).
The goal is to exchange experiences and to work together in an open and non-competitive way. We strongly encourage applicants from historically underrepresented backgrounds to submit their proposals. We also explicitly invite undergraduate students: if you have ever written a paper or essay in this field, this is the perfect place to present it!
The application deadline is January 31, 2024.
The language of the conference is English, so please write your submissions in English.
