This graduate-faculty research seminar is designed to bring together interested faculty and students on a continuing basis to cover topics on global history, with a particular focus in 2024-2025 on the history of global capitalism. It is part of History 2955A/B History of Global Capitalism and includes both reading sessions designed for graduate students and research sessions open to the interested public during which students and faculty participants will present current research. Faculty participants will be drawn from several schools, and, most especially, from the group of fellows in global history who are spending the academic year 2024-2025 at the Weatherhead Research Cluster on Global History. Discussions will be moderated by Professors Sven Beckert and Lorenzo Bondioli.
