Welcome, Ulrike Lindner

the centre
- The global dis:connect research centre, which is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, examines the dynamic, co-constitutive relationship of global integration, absent connections and disintegration in current and historical processes of globalisation.

research
- By investigating global dis:connections, we are inaugurating a new field of research. It emphasises the role of delays and detours, of interruptions and resistances, of the active absence of connections in global contexts and investigates their social significance.

fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

In early September Ulrike Lindner joins global dis:connect as a new fellow. Welcome to Munich, Ulrike!

Ulrike Lindner is a professor of modern history at the University of Cologne. Her research interests lie in comparative, colonial and global history.

During her fellowship at global dis:connect, she will explore why the topic has received less attention than the dominant migration narratives of the 19th and 20th century. Secondly, she will investigate the concrete agency of African migrant workers who tried to be deviant and to use ‘detours’ to resist their integration into the capitalist market economy of the new colonial rulers in Africa at the end of the 19th century.
