Join the project

We are welcoming contributions from scholars all over the world. Please record a video with a statement of two minutes or approximately 100 words. We invite concise and engaging statements (beginning, for example, with “For me, global history means…”). The time/word limit is set in order to assure fairness among the participants and to give equal opportunity to express one’s own view.

You may use a video camera or even just your smartphone with a decent video recording quality (min. Full HD or ~2 million pixels; landscape format). You are, of course, also free to choose the language in which you record the video. We strongly encourage recordings in your native language. If you do so, please hand in an extra text document including the original text as well as the English translation if the language is other than English. We will then add this as subtitles to the video.

We are looking forward to your contribution!
