IN THE SAME SEA PhD Fellow Rasmus Christensen is one of four applicants to be awarded 17,500 kr. by HUM:Global this year. He will use this seed money to organise a graduate seminar entitled:
"Towards a trans-national history of the Caribbean"
Currently, most European scholars working on Caribbean history find themselves somewhat isolated from each other, from those based in the Caribbean, and from the leading node of Caribbean historical research in North America. The motivation behind the seminar is to bring together a group of young and senior scholars from different countries and universities to lay the foundation for a stronger future collaboration on and exchange of Caribbean historical research across national and institutional boundaries.
More information will be released about this event in early 2025.
