A series of special events throughout the congress are equally dedicated to furthering critical reflTaking place on September 10-12, 2025, at Linnaeus University in Växjö, Sweden, the Eight European Congress on World and Global History invites participants to explore new avenues in global history. At the congress 400 speakers from diverse disciplinary and national contexts who are organized in more than 80 panels will share their thoughts on how dominating meta-narratives in global history can be overcome by integrating a broader and more diverse range of voices and perspectives. In doing so, they will take stock of the thematical and theoretical expansions global history as a field has undergone in the past decades as well use the opportunity to critically self-reflect and to discuss methodological and thematic innovations. Panels and Roundtables are organized in 11 congress themes: • Temporalities and periodizations in global history • Ethical aspects of doing global history • Expanding the global archive • Multivocality in global history • Global history and decoloniality • Transdisciplinary approaches • Indigenous perspectives and methodologies • Challenging modernity from the perspective of global history • National history, nationalist backlash, and identity politics • Global environmental history • Nordic colonialism A series of special events throughout the congress are equally dedicated to furthering critical reflection, diversity and inclusivity in global history: First and foremost among them the two keynote lectures by Laura de Mello e Souza and Fe/derico Navarrete. Fe/derico Navarrete explores “Cosmohistories, the multiplicity of worlds and their histories“ and presents cosmohistory as a concept that overcomes unilinear, Eurocentric and teleological perspectives on world histories by investigating historical communities as coexisting and colliding entities that refuse to conform to simplistic and homogenizing narratives. In her lecture on “Provisional Forms of Existence in Portuguese America – 16th-18th Centuries“ Laure de Mello e Souza showcases how the blended knowledge of indigenous, African, and Portuguese actors shaped present-day Brazil. Both keynotes, therefore highlight the multivocality and diversity but also the interdependency of diverse communities in history. The Plenary Session “Nordic Colonialism” convened by Janne Lahti equally seeks to overcome notions of exceptionalism and isolationist narratives by showing how the Nordic countries were involved in and connected to global colonial history. Bringing these various strands of academic interests together the Closing Roundtable on “Publishing Global History” organized by Birgit Tremml-Werner and Daniel Laqua investigates how the publishing industry in Global History can become more inclusive both in terms of content as well as in terms of practicalities. Furthermore, we are looking forward to welcoming ten renowned international publishing houses to our publishers’ exhibition.

Combined type. The student may exhibit symptoms that include behaviors from both categories above.Combined type.The student may exhibit symptoms that include behaviors from both categories above. In order for a student to be diagnosed with ADHD, symptoms must appear before age 12 and be exhibited across at least two settings. They must also have adverse effects on academic performance, occupational success, or social-emotional development (APA, 2013). To add to the complexity of the diagnosis, children with ADHD are likely to have co-existing emotional, behavioral, developmental, learning, or physical conditions (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010).By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreTuesday, Jul 22, 2025WATER, ENERGY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Michael Porter’s Industry AnalysisIndustry dynamics are an important part of strategic management. Michael Porter’s Five Forces Model for competitive forces analysis is handy. By looking at these forces, businesses can consider what kind of opportunity or threat they can in the industry, then design strategies that help them upgrade their market position. The Five Forces are: 1. Competitive Rivalry: This force examines the intensity of competition among existing firms in the industry. Factors like the number of competitors, product differentiation, and switching costs influence this force. 2. Threat of New Entrants: This force assesses how easy or difficult it is for new companies to enter the market. High barriers to entry, such as high capital requirements or strong brand loyalty, can deter new entrants. 3. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: This force evaluates the influence suppliers have on pricing and terms. If suppliers have strong bargaining power, they can charge higher prices or offer less favorable terms to businesses. 4. Bargaining Power of Buyers: This force assesses the influence customers have on pricing and terms. If buyers have strong bargaining power, they can negotiate lower prices or demand better terms. 5. Threat of Substitute Products or Services: This force examines the availability of alternative products or services that can satisfy the same customer needs. A high threat of substitutes can limit the profitability of an industry.By: HemsMonday, Jul 21, 2025YOUTH EMPOWERMENT+1

Why Is Imagination Important?Did you know your imagination is one of your greatest assets? It’s the tool we use to envision the unseen, solve problems before they happen, and escape into worlds of our own creation. When we’re young, imagining comes easily—we conjure up friends from thin air and embark on epic journeys in our backyards. However, imagination isn’t just child’s play; it’s a vital part of how we adapt and thrive. By understanding how to cultivate our imagination, we can find better solutions to problems and connect with our goals and dreams in meaningful ways.By: Anne Miller vijayalaxmi Santosh MhetreWednesday, Jun 25, 2025YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
