29 March 2023: Research Colloquium History Post-1800
30 March 2023: Workshop / CGS-Forum: Contested Concepts of Labor: Slavery and Informality 

This conference aims for exploring the potential benefit of adopting gender as a useful category of global historical analysis by having a fresh look at the long nineteenth century. How was the transformation of the world characterized by particular concepts of gender? Did European expansion result in an assimilation of gender roles across the globe? How were the respective notions of masculinity and femininity related to other social categories such as ethnicity/race, class, religion or sex in different parts of the world?

Conference at the Hotel Bad Murtensee, Muntelier, Switzerland, 25 to 27 August 2022 
Convenors: Christof Dejung (Bern); Angelika Epple (Bielefeld) 

This conference aims for breaking new ground by exploring the significance of temporal regimes for the breakthrough of capitalism globally. By linking the history of temporality, which has become a vibrant research field in the last few years, to the history of capitalism, it aims for confirming that economic history in general, and the history of capitalism in particular, cannot be understood without investigating the cultural processes that accompanied, and often rendered possible, the implementation of specific economic structures.

Organisers: Christof Dejung (Bern), Moritz von Brescius (Harvard and Bern)
23 to 25 June 2022, Hotel Bad Murtensee

This conference interweaves global and social history, exploring global social history as a new field of historical inquiry. The papers aim to demonstrate that we cannot understand the emergence and transformation of social groups across the modern world, such as the aristocracy, the economic bourgeoisie, the educated middle classes, or the peasantry, without considering the impact of global entanglements on class formation. Moreover, the contributions aim to show that we have to examine globalization as a social process which was shaped not least by the agency of particular social groups. 
Bringing together established and early career scholars from the fields of social history, global history, labour history, and imperial history, the conference will examine the differences and similarities between particular social groups and processes of stratification in different world areas and their interrelations between the early modern period and the twentieth century. Overall, it will make a substantial contribution to the discipline: it aims to add a global dimension to the field of social history, and to introduce social historical questions to the field of global history.
