SUMMARY:Weatherhead Research Cluster on Global History Conference
DESCRIPTION:<h2>The Nature of Commodity Frontiers</h2><p><em><strong>The Nature of Commodity Frontiers&nbsp;</strong></em>conference aims to contribute analyses at the intersections of ecology, race, gender, Indigeneity, and more-than-human life in the historical analysis of commodity frontiers. Our focus is the transformation of the global countryside, in all its diversity and unevenness across time and space. In line with this bottom-up approach, we shift the perspective away from the urban and industrial core regions of the world towards the countryside and agrarian change, and give a central place to ecological limits, local initiatives, resilience, and conflicts as drivers of change.</p><p><em>Convened by the leadership of the Commodity Frontier Initiative (CFI):&nbsp;<strong>Sven Beckert, Ulbe Bosma, Mindi Schneide</strong>r, and&nbsp;<strong>Eric Vanhaute.&nbsp;</strong>Sponsored by the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs,&nbsp;the Weatherhead Research Cluster on Global History, and Brown University.</em></p><p>For more information and to register for this conference, please&nbsp;<a href="https://wigh.wcfia.harvard.edu/event/conference-nature-commodity-frontiers">visit the conference webpage</a>.</p>
