Sebestian Kroupa - global dis:connect

the centre
- The global dis:connect research centre, which is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, examines the dynamic, co-constitutive relationship of global integration, absent connections and disintegration in current and historical processes of globalisation.
- the centre
research
- By investigating global dis:connections, we are inaugurating a new field of research. It emphasises the role of delays and detours, of interruptions and resistances, of the active absence of connections in global contexts and investigates their social significance.
- research
fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

Sebestian Kroupa

Sebestian Kroupa is a historian of early modern natural sciences and medicine in global contexts. He is a Leverhulme Trust Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge and a junior research fellow at Wolfson College, Cambridge. Sebestian’s research seeks to uncover the variety of agencies across cultures, genders and social status involved in the making of knowledge amid the early modern expansion of global interactions, which engendered the birth of medicine, science and the modern world. He has published on indigenous tattooing in the Philippines, long-distance networks of knowledge exchange, Renaissance geography and gorillas, and on science and islands in Indo-Pacific worlds.

Sebestian joined global dis:connect funded by the Munich Centre for Global History.
