The global
dimension in history and historiography Doctoral seminar Date 17-18 September 2014 Venue University of Vienna Application >>
Call for applications [pdf] Deadline: 9 July 2014 Host Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Vienna Convenors Wolfgang Schmale (University of Vienna) Christian Cwik (University of the West Indies) Participating professors
and senior researchers Rina Cáceres Gómez (University of Costa Rica, Costa Rica) Georg G. Iggers (State University of New York at Buffalo, U.S.A.) Franklin W. Knight (Johns Hopkins University, U.S.A.) Paul E. Lovejoy (York University, Canada) Michael Toussaint (University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago) Immanuel Wallerstein (Yale University, U.S.A.) Michael Zeuske (University of Cologne, Germany) Outlines The doctoral seminar deals with questions relating to the global
dimension of historical events, phenomena, structures, and processes and
their consideration for scientific analysis, interpretation and text
production. It addresses advantages, disadvantages, possibilities,
impossibilities, theories, methods, as well as potential results and
perspectives, and suggests a structured cooperation between regional experts.
The emphasis will be on the role of the Congress of Vienna as a turning point
for different parts of the global community with regard to the rise of
imperialism since 1815, understood as a product of “global thinking”. The seminar will provide an interactive forum for doctoral students to
present their work and receive critical feedback from experts as well as to
discuss questions and problems with peers. This shall lead to an
interdisciplinary and intercultural “polylogue”. Presentations will be
augmented with keynote addresses and parallel workshops dealing with a
specific set of problems or reconsidering methodical approaches. Discussions
will be based on pre-circulated texts and papers. The main goal of the
seminar is to foster excellence in global history research by giving doctoral
students constructive feedback and technical advice from senior researchers
as well as the opportunity to exchange ideas with peers outside of their home
institution and insights relative to career development. To create an easy
atmosphere, we have scheduled social activities such as an informal
get-together on the evening before the seminar and an excursion on the
afternoon of September 18 exploring “Global places in Vienna”. We encourage
participants to stay for the duration of the international bicentenary conference. Oral presentations Each presenter will be given a 30 minute time slot (15 minutes for
presentation followed by 15 minutes for comments and discussion). Poster presentations Posters should be printed on A1 paper and laminated. Don’t forget to include
your name and contact details. Authors are required to bring their posters at
the seminar, as well as staying with the poster to informally discuss the
work with seminar attendees for the duration of the scheduled poster session.
