Corey Ross has given a guest lecture entitled “The Political Ecology of Urban Water in the Colonial World” at the University of Tübingen. The invited talk focused on his research on water and power in the age of empire, and took place on 3 June 2024 as part of the Gesprächskreis Neuere Geschichte at the Department of History.

Corey Ross is Director of the Institute and Professor for European Global Studies. His expertise focuses on the history of imperialism and global environmental history in the 19th and 20th centuries. His research on the socio-environmental history of Europe’s relations with the rest of the world builds on interdisciplinarity, investigates the global, transimperial and transnational circulation of ideas, goods and people, and aims to highlight perspectives that are relevant to major present-day and future challenges.
