15-17 september, global dis:connect at the Europaeum Summer School: Decolonising Europe's Past

the centre
- The Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, investigates globalisation as a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of integration, disconnection, and disintegration. Our work focuses on understanding how connections emerge, fail, or remain absent, in both historical and contemporary contexts.
- the centre
research
- global dis:connect approaches globalisation through the lens of dis:connectivity, focusing on absences, detours and interruptions that shape historical and contemporary global processes. Rather than assuming linear integration, we examine the gaps, delays and disruptions that make globalisation uneven and socially significant.
  
  Our research is structured around six key areas – absences, detours, interruptions, laboratories, cultural infrastructures and temporalities – which foster interdisciplinary dialogue without normative assumptions or claims of completeness.
- 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.

15-17 september, global dis:connect at the Europaeum Summer School: Decolonising Europe’s Past

Europe’s histories have long been shaped by perspectives that marginalise the experiences and agency of colonised peoples. Scholars and institutions across Europe are now re-examining them critically to rethink methodologies, boundaries, categories, and periodisation to recover lost voices.

This Europaeum History and Classics Seminar will bring together Master’s and PhD students to ask how historical narratives inform contemporary inequalities, cultural representations, and political debates.

global dis:connect will be part of the seminar, with Clemens Finkelstein and Roland Wenzlhuemer presenting the Centre and its work on dis:connectivity in processes of globalisation.
