Can we talk about a ‘medieval’ period beyond Europe? What does ‘modernity’ look like in Asia? Was there ever an ‘early modern’ world? An open table discussion, entitled ‘Periodisation in Asian, European & Global History’, will explore the meaning of such terms from a variety of Asian and European disciplinary perspectives, and ask whether comparative periodisation is possible, or even desirable, in the wake of history’s global turn.Date and venueThe interdisciplinary forum will take place 1.15-2.45pm, Thursday 19 September 2013, in Room G.15, William Robertson Wing, Old Medical School, Teviot Place. Tea/coffee served from 1pm.
