Workshop: Gender in Global and Transnational History

Organisers: Ruth Ennis (Uni Leipzig), Tolulope Esther Fadeyi (Uni Basel), Laura Frey (Uni Basel)

CfP/Einreichungsfrist: 15.01.2021

Transnational and global history have become intriguing fields of research for young historians. Dissolving the containers of national history writing to look at transnational networks, cross-border movements or spatialisation processes, long-standing assumptions in historical research are being constantly challenged by innovative doctoral projects which look for connections and transfers rather than reinforcing nation-state containers. At the same time, historians such as Angelika Epple and Christoph Dejung ask the highly valid question, “was it a man’s world?”, when it comes to the failure of this critical and ever-growing field to include the achievements of women’s and gender history into the research scope of global and transnational history.
