"Europe in a Global Perspective" Lectures at Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences

The Gerda Henkel Foundation has made available the videos of two recent lectures on global history given at the July meeting of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences' Akademievorlesung series. The lectures, given by Professors Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger (Wilhelms Universität Münster) and Sebastian Conrad (Freie Universität Berlin,  are titled "The Europe of Enlightenment - A 'corps politique?'" and "Whose Enlightenment? Global History Perspectives," respectively.

Professor Conrad's lecture may be of particular interest to an audience interested in global history. As the site blurb explains:

Conrad argues that the Enlightenment cannot only be "understood as a European event." His lecture follows the Enlightenment's "global career" and points to the effects of this global networking process to the "concept of Enlightenment itself."

The lectures and the discussion (which is also available at the linked page) are in German.
