Since its publication in 2016, Sebastian Conrad's What Is Global History? (Princeton University Press, 2016) has been read and debated not only by historians of modern Europe but also by historians of different parts of the world and scholars in different disciplines.

Who writes global history? How and for whom? And why now?

Bring your questions and thoughts, and join the conversation.
