«A Different Point of View» was the first of a cycle of three conferences aiming to open a new pathway of Global History, and it served as the annual conference of the Global History & Culture Center at the University of Warwick. The aim of the conference was to bring together leading historians to address issues of connection and agency, local spaces, and the multiple contexts of the histories of events and individuals. In the event’s opening lecture, Paula Findlen explored “Catholic Geographies of the Global.” Susanna Burghartz followed the lecture with a response.
