About Me

My interest in history focuses on agency, on change and continuity, and on questions such as how to make longstanding categories of history writing more inclusive. I specialized in Early Modern History and later on extended my expertise to the history of emotions across cultures and also across times. More and more I became interested in Global History, more particularly in how early modern history can be understood as an alternative to modern global history and draft for future problem solving. With my interest in polycentric  approaches grew my interest in Slavery and Dependency Studies as an emerging field for cooperative research, with a shared interest in how people  lived in strong asymmetrical dependencies. This kind of research contributes, hopefully, to a more differentiated understanding of today’s fundamental social, political, and also economical conflicts, including the connection of slavery based capitalism and climate change.
