GlobA.L. Summer School 2026: this is how the first edition went
From February 9 to 13, 2026, the University of São Paulo hosted the first edition of the traveling school on global history from Latin America, with more than 70 participants from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Mexico, and Uruguay.
The GlobA.L. Summer School: “Thinking Global History from Latin America”, was organized by the Laboratory for Studies on Brazil and the Global System (Lab-Mundi/USP), in collaboration with historians from the University of São Paulo (USP, Brazil), the University of the Republic (UdelaR, Uruguay), and the Center for Intellectual History at the National University of Quilmes (UNQ, Argentina). The project is the result of an initiative led by Alexandre Moreli (USP), Aldo Marchesi (UdelaR), and Martín Bergel (CHI/UNQ).
“The school was both an educational environment, introducing new historiographical perspectives, and a space for intense debate on topics such as new and classic perspectives on the history of capitalism, Braudelian and Wallersteinian approaches, new views on cultural history from a transnational perspective, and debates on global intellectual history”, ” explained Martín Bergel, who was part of the teaching staff.
The teaching staff was completed by:
- Santiago Delgado (UdelaR)
- Laura Ehrlich (CHI/UNQ)
- Camille Gapenne (UdelaR)
- Martina Garategaray (CHI/UNQ)
- Daniel Gomes de Carvalho (USP)
- Rodrigo Goyena (USP)
- Aldo Marchesi (UdelaR)
- Vania Markarian (UdelaR)
- Alexandre Moreli (USP)
- Rafael Marquese (USP)
- João Paulo Pimenta (USP)
The group of professors and students said goodbye with promises to meet again at the next edition to be held in Montevideo in February 2027.
