Humanity lives in a transnational world. Recent global events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, major supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine have reinforced this claim and exposed the challenges of that transnational world. Resources, products, businesses, organizations, activists, and other actors, as well as technologies, ideas, and scientific findings constantly cross borders and exert a decisive influence on both national and global affairs. How can we write transnational history in a world in which science and technology become increasingly relevant? For our “Transnational History Lab” we welcome and encourage proposals that cover a wide range of topics, timelines, and different methodical approaches and academic disciplines to further develop the research field of transnational history.
