Overview

Against the backdrop of historical and contemporary globalization processes and migrations, the programme focuses on interconnections between the continents around the Atlantic. A possible special focus lies on relations in the South Atlantic region due to the unique teaching combination of African History (one out of five professorships in Germany) and Latin American History present in Hannover, as well as expertise on both continents in the literary/ cultural and social sciences. Particularly in the historical specialization, the programme offers the full range of time from antiquity to contemporary history.
