The Harvard International and Global History Seminar serves as a forum for lectures and workshops presenting cutting-edge work in the fields of international and global history. Presenters, who come from both within and outside Harvard, offer papers that focus on relationships, connections, transfers, and movements between nations or regions of the world, and often employ comparative and/or connective analytical frameworks that cross traditional historiographical boundaries. In 2012–2013, the seminar is chaired by David Armitage, Lloyd C. Blankfein Professor of History, and Erez Manela, professor of history. It typically meets on Wednesday afternoons in room S050 in CGIS South, 1730 Cambridge Street.
