This lecture series was made possible by the SFB 1199. The SFB 1199, funded by the German Research Foundation for a second phase (2020–2023), is a collaborative research centre that examines modern history up to the present day, with a focus on the role of new spatializations in shaping social interactions and social change. The SFB is part of the Research Centre Global Dynamics (ReCentGlobe) at Leipzig University, where it profits from engagement with the many research fields and topics covered.
