Do we need our history to be global? Work, leisure, war and peace, these are some of the themes that historians are now mapping onto a global past.
Join historians David Armitage, Joyce E. Chaplin and Erez Manela from Harvard University, along with Sunil Amrith from Birkbeck College, University of London, in a conversation led by Glenda Sluga from the University of Sydney, as they talk about how they approach the past globally, and hear the stories that they have to tell about our round world.
