Join this seminar to discuss ongoing research to transnational history and digital workflows.

This interdisciplinary colloquium for early to mid-career scholars presents and discusses their research on transnational history in the context of growing digitised source material, text mining, data visualisation tools. Transnational history is understood as the study of the mobility of persons, goods, capital or cultural ideas across borders. The course targets students working on topics that transcend national boundaries and/or digital methods. Research on the past and research on how the past is used in the present are discussed. Special attention is paid to Luxembourg and its surroundings.
