While attached to global dis:connect, David worked on three major projects. The first is a new global history of treaty-making and treaty-breaking since the 17th century, on which he lectured at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg during his visit. The second is a set of essays on opera and international law, which the offerings of the Bavarian State Opera and a visit to nearby Salzburg greatly enriched. The third was the international conference, Oceans Disconnect that he co-organised with Roland Wenzlhuemer and Sujit Sivasundaram (Cambridge/gd:c fellow alumnus), in tandem with the Cambridge University Press series on oceanic history that he co-edits with Sujit.
