University of Lausanne, 9-10 May 2019
Over the course of the last few years, the transnational and global turn in the social sciences has inspired a profound renewal of colonial and imperial history. A significant body of research has been investigating the dynamics of "imperial globalization", as well as the vast array of “in-between” actors, spaces and institutions that have contributed to connecting countries and regions of the world. Following this decentered approach, the study of the imperial past can offer a “bridge” toward global history and provide original insights into the ideological, institutional and technological mechanisms of contemporary globalization.
This workshop aims to further this debate by focusing more specifically on the history of the political, scientific and technical cooperation in European colonial empires in Africa during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
