World History and Historical Materialism: An International Conference


March 12, 2009 to March 14, 2009


The field of World History has been a growing area of scholarship and education over the last three decades. In focusing on the global impact and implications of colonialism, imperialism, the mercantile and industrial revolutions, as well as revolutionary resistance from the early-modern period to the present, World History provides a framework for understanding international capitalism, contemporary politics, and the relationship between economic systems and the dynamics of diverse societies. This conference will examine the relationship between the historical roots of World History and its contemporary social, political, economic, and cultural dimensions.

Venue: University of Manitoba
Location: Winnipeg, MB
