Workshop: Methodologies for Comparative and Connected Global History

Hosted between the universities of Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield, the cluster will provide a forum for doctoral and early career scholars to discuss the methodologies and practices of global and transcultural studies.  Focused on termly half-day workshops rotating between the host institutions, each meeting will draw on a specific topic for discussion, presented initially by one or more pre-prepared presentations or hands-on demonstration, followed by an open discussion.  Themes chosen are intended to cross disciplinary, geographical and chronological boundaries and form a basis for discussion that relates to the challenges facing scholars undertaking research across the widest possible range of global and transcultural studies.Convened by Dr Misha Ewen (Manchester), Dr John Gallagher (Leeds), Dr Claudia Rogers (Sheffield), Dr Edmond Smith (Manchester) and Dr Haig Smith (Liverpool).Future workshops:University of Leeds (March 2019), Multilingual Spaces, Networks and ArchivesUniversity of Liverpool (June 2019), Approaches to Agency

The Northern Cluster for Global and Transcultural Studies

At the cluster's first workshop we will explore the current intellectual environment for global and transcultural studies, considering the most innovative approaches being undertaken in this vibrant, contentious field. Intended to facilitate open discussion and collaborative action, the workshop will be chaired by Dr Edmond Smith and Dr Claudia Rogers who will candidly share their own experiences undertaking work in this field, discuss the challenges facing researchers in the field, and lead discussion about where the future lies.
We believe that global and transcultural studies are essentially collaborative, interdisciplinary and diverse, and participants will be encouraged to join the debate. The workshop is open to all and will be a safe space for researchers at all stages of their career from all disciplinary backgrounds.
