The Queen’s Global History initiative is one of the two partners in the North American Global History Network (along with the Weatherhead Initiative on Global History at Harvard University) and is partnered with the Poverty Research Network at the University of Glasgow.
We are in the process of establishing partnerships and exchanges with leading programs around the world.

Harvard University Weatherhead Initiative on Global History
The Weatherhead Initiative on Global History, A Research Cluster on Global Transformations at Harvard University was founded in 2012. It is committed to the systematic scrutiny of developments that have unfolded across national, regional, and continental boundaries as well as to analysis of the interconnections—cultural, economic, ecological and demographic—among world societies. WIGH is chaired by Sven Beckert and Charles S. Maier.
Poverty Research Network at University of Glasgow
The Poverty Research Network aims to bring together different scholars working on the theme of poverty and social justice. Its members are concerned with the politics of poverty at both the global and the local level, and interrogating some of the paradigms of globalization. The network provides a forum for inter-disciplinary and global discussions on different approaches to poverty research and connections to current issues. This includes investigating the cultural and historical contexts of attitudes towards poverty, wealth, and charity around the world, and contemporary global debates on inequality and humanitarian strategies.
