Det globalhistoriska seminariet: LAUGH

Global History at the Department of History in Lund gathers in LAUGH: the Lund Assembly for Universal and Global History.

Interest in broadening the historical perspective beyond national borders has grown since the early 1990s. Several researchers have spoken of a “world historical turn” or a “transnational trend”. The shift in perspective can be encompassed by concepts such as global history, world history, transnational history, comparative history, histoire croisée and entangled history. With this seminar we want to highlight ongoing research in the field and discuss the relationship between theory and empiricism and how these perspectives affect our view of the past.

We welcome all interested parties, students and researchers alike.

Keep an eye out for the schedule of 2026!
