Dear all,

As the new academic year begins, we are thrilled to welcome you back to the International, Global, and Transnational History Workshop – and to extend a warm hello to those joining us for the first time this fall!

Each semester, it is a true pleasure to see familiar faces return and new ones step into the room. Together, you create a space that is thoughtful, curious, and generous – a space where historical questions can be approached across borders, disciplines, and time periods. We are so excited to continue building that community this fall.

This semester, our workshop will take place on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in Fayerweather Hall, Room 413, unless otherwise noted. Over the course of twelve sessions, we will journey across empires and centuries, engage with war and welfare, labour and law, exile and emotion. Our speakers bring work at all stages – from dissertation chapters to new book projects – and our respondents help us dig deeper into the stakes, sources, and meanings of what we hear.

You will find the full schedule listed below.

We kindly ask that you RSVP by filling out this short form. This helps us plan accordingly – and ensures you receive the papers and details at least one week in advance of each session.

We cannot wait to get started, and we look forward to the conversations, questions, and insights this semester will bring. Whether you join us every week or just drop in once, we are so glad to have you with us.

Warmest wishes for the start of the semester,

Audrey, Dimitris, Elijah, Lélia, and Ziqian
