Colloquium "Europe's History of the Present: Universalism and Particularism"

The KFG colloquium continues on Monday, May 13th, with an interdisciplinary workshop on theories and methods on "Risk / Calculated Danger", organized by Junior Fellow Grace Ballor and our guest Nicolai Hannig.

Grace Ballor studies the historical political economy of contemporary Europe, the international influence of economic actors, and the intersections of global capitalism and global governance. She is assistant professor of international economic history at Bocconi University and has held research fellowships at Harvard Business School, the European University Institute, and the Graduate Institute Geneva. Her book, Enterprise and Integration: Big Business and the Making of the Single European Market, is under contract with Cambridge University Press and she is now at work on a new project on the economic governance of risk.

Nicolai Hannig studies German and European history of the 19th and 20th centuries, environmental and urban history, historical risk research, the history of violence since 1800 and the history of media and religion. In his habilitation thesis "Kalkulierte Gefahren. Natural disasters and prevention since 1800", he delves deeper into his research on historical natural catastrophes and the topic of risk. Since 2020, he has been Professor of Modern History at the Institute of History at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
