Towards a Global Intellectual History of an Unequal World

June 10th-11th 2021, Symposium, Aarhus University

Call for Abstracts for a Two-Day Symposium

Deadline for abstract: August 31st, 2020

This two-day symposium is designed to investigate the global intellectual history of inequality. It will do so through a double global lens: How have intellectuals from around the world thought about inequality in the world?

The aim of the symposium is to contribute with a new transnational intellectual history of inequality in different geographical and cultural contexts.

We are delighted to welcome Adom Getachew (author of Worldmaking After Empire, Princeton U.P. 2019) and Siep Stuurman (author of The Invention of Humanity, Harvard U.P. 2017) as our two keynote speakers.
