The Professorship for History of the Modern World deals with the historical analysis of different forms of global interdependencies that have increasingly shaped the world since the 18th century. The implications of (post)colonial transnational relationships in the development of Europe, North-America and the Global South are examined in this context. The role of scientific experts, disciplines and institutions, and transcultural knowledge in colonial and postcolonial constellations are of particular interest. The history of processes of globalisation is combined with expertise in different extra-European regions in the work done within this group.
