Transnational History, 1750–present
The research group's main focus is on modern times, and includes historical and cultural processes from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.
Main content
The members of the group are engaged in research on various aspects of transnational nexus and interaction.
This includes transactions and exchange of goods and services, the movement of people and transfer of culture and ideas. In short, we are looking at historical and cultural processes from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries that expedite as well as halts, and that are causes as well as consequences of internationalisation.
