Global Biography Working Group
The Global Biography Working Group (GloBio) is an online platform and forum for the presentation, discussion and dissemination of all things concerning global biographies, particularly of the 19th, 20th, and 21st century. GloBio aims to facilitate the development of global biography as a lively and connected academic field with a distinct set of approaches.
We define global biographies as those which engage with processes, events or topics with a global reach and that reflect and develop the methodology and theory of biography and global history both.
GloBio is interested in the following topics:
Biographies of the Global Cold War
Global Intellectual Biographies
Gender and Global Biography
Global Biography and Oral History
Global Subaltern Biographies
Global Biographies of Migration
Biographies of International Organization and Diplomacy
Race and Global Biography
