The Global Mediterranean Project - Mediterranean Seminar Winter/Spring 2021 Workshop (February-April; remote)
The Mediterranean Seminar and The Ohio State University announce The Mediterranean Seminar Winter/Spring 2021 virtual workshop on “The Global Mediterranean” to be held via Zoom from February through April 2021, and organized by Harry Kashdan (OSU), Brian Catlos (CU Boulder) and Sharon Kinoshita (UCSC).
“To claim that there is a global Mediterranean which in the sixteenth century, reached as far as the Azores and the New World, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, the Baltic and the loop of the Niger, may appear an unwarranted exaggeration of its boundaries. . . [Yet] what boundaries can be marked when we are dealing not with plants and animals, relief and climate, but men, whom no barriers or frontiers can stop?”
Braudel, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II, 168.
This is the first (and we hope the last) Mediterranean Seminar workshop that will be held virtually. The workshop is a collaborative and interactive event in which attendees are given the opportunity and are expected to participate.
The program takes place over the course of five two-hour sessions held on Fridays in February, March and April.
Because the goal is to engage in a sustained conversation, attendees are expected to attend all of the sessions (one absence is permitted).
Workshop papers will be pre-circulated. Authors will make a short presentation, followed by comments from a respondent, leading to a moderated discussion involving all participants.
Round-table presenters will pre-circulate short position papers, and will make very brief comments leading into a moderated discussion involving all participants.

The Global Mediterranean Project - Mediterranean Seminar Winter/Spring 2021 Workshop (February-April; remote)
The Mediterranean Seminar and The Ohio State University announce The Mediterranean Seminar Winter/Spring 2021 virtual workshop on “The Global Mediterranean” to be held via Zoom from February through April 2021, and organized by Harry Kashdan (OSU), Brian Catlos (CU Boulder) and Sharon Kinoshita (UCSC).
“To claim that there is a global Mediterranean which in the sixteenth century, reached as far as the Azores and the New World, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, the Baltic and the loop of the Niger, may appear an unwarranted exaggeration of its boundaries. . . [Yet] what boundaries can be marked when we are dealing not with plants and animals, relief and climate, but men, whom no barriers or frontiers can stop?”
Braudel, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II, 168.
This is the first (and we hope the last) Mediterranean Seminar workshop that will be held virtually. The workshop is a collaborative and interactive event in which attendees are given the opportunity and are expected to participate.
The program takes place over the course of five two-hour sessions held on Fridays in February, March and April.
Because the goal is to engage in a sustained conversation, attendees are expected to attend all of the sessions (one absence is permitted).
Workshop papers will be pre-circulated. Authors will make a short presentation, followed by comments from a respondent, leading to a moderated discussion involving all participants.
Round-table presenters will pre-circulate short position papers, and will make very brief comments leading into a moderated discussion involving all participants.
