TGHS is the only graduate-led seminar at the University of Oxford focused on themes of global history. The Seminar is active throughout the academic year, hosting an exciting and varied list of speakers, including both established and early career researchers. The Seminar is known for its informal setting, which encourages participation in a stimulating and wide-ranging discussion. This term, the theme for the Oxford Sudbury Transnational & Global History Seminar (TGHS) is ‘Maritime Approaches to Global History’. We welcome interested parties to join our Facebook page to stay up to date on seminars, workshops and special events.
