> III ENIUGH Kongress
>
> Every three years ENIUGH organizes the European Congress in World and
> Global History. Since the inaugural congress in 2005 it has developed into
> an outstanding meeting place for scholars in the fast developing fields of
> world, global and transnational history and the adjacent disciplines. The
> number of participants has increased steadily, and the success of the
> congress can be explained, among other factors, by its openness both to
> young and experienced scholars alike. It has become a forum for
> researchers to present and discuss their latest findings as well as to
> inform each other about new organisational patterns in the fields of
> teaching and research. It offers information and expertise on
> undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as PhD-programmes and provides
> the opportunity to develop emerging research agendas in transnational
> teams and to get the latest news about European and various national
> funding schemes.
>
> The third congress will take place 14 to 17 April 2011, in London, at the
> London School of Economics and Political Science, which has been among the
> pioneering institutions in research, teaching and journal-publication in
> global history. The congress theme of 'Comparisons and Connections' is
> meant to be both generic and specific. It is intended to be generic enough
> to attract participants from all the overlapping approaches which share a
> commitment to transcend national historiographies, whether under such
> headings as (to give only an incomplete list) 'world' or 'global' history,
> 'transnational' history, or histoire croisée. To judge from the nearly
> ninety panels accepted for the congress, this aim has been achieved. The
> theme is also specific, in that 'comparisons and connections' encapsulates
> a (broad) agenda shared by many scholars around the world concerned with
> global or transnational history.
>
> The range of themes will focus on different themes, include the
> entanglements between polities, societies, communities and individuals
> situated in, or spanning, different regions of the world, the interactions
> between humanity and the environ¬ment, including those which developed
> over the very long term, through the cultural and economic histories of
> material and social life, the histories of empires, large-scale crises,
> interna¬tional organisations, and the intercontinental sources and
> consequences of revolutions, whether political, technological, the social
> or ideological exchanges on oceans as spaces of sustained interaction
> between communities from different continents, the experience and the
> consequences of migration, and the description of the periods of
> de-globalisation and globalisation.
>
> The congress will be opened by two keynote lectures:
>
> Prof. Maxine Berg (University of Warwick): Europe's Asian Centuries:
> Material Culture and Useful Knowledge 1600–1800
>
> Prof. Michel Espagne (CNRS, Paris): Global History and the
> Conceptualisation of Cultural Transfers
>
> A further feature will be the roundtable on 'Empires and colonies' on
> Friday evening, hosted by the German Historical Institute. Three
> outstanding scholars in the field – Frederick Cooper (New York
> University), John Darwin (University of Oxford), Regina Grafe
> (Northwestern University) – will discuss various, possibly contradicting
> approaches to imperial and colonial history, chaired by Peer Vries
> (University of Vienna).
