Eurasian Empires explores the connected and comparative history of empires from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. The workshop combines histories of global and regional imperial formations including the Russian, Ottoman, Safavid/Qajar, Uzbek, Mughal, Chinese, Dutch, Portuguese, British, French and Spanish empires. In the 2024–25 academic year, the Eurasian Empires workshop will engage with studies in economic and social history with the overarching focus on environmental history including sub-themes of energy regimes, spatial transformations, and extraction of labor.
