The Globalization Comes Home Project explores
how globalization - once synonymous with "Westernization" -
has become a force unto itself, coming back to challenge
the political and legal institutions, economic landscape,
and cultural foundations of Western industrial democracies.
Over 30 scholars from the U.S. and abroad have drafted
papers for this project. For complete information go

21st Century Enlightenment Conference
This conference will work to lay the ground for a novel
engagement with the Enlightenment from the perspective
of our own newly troubling, but also promising, century.
Bringing together scholars from a number of different disciplines,
the conference will address contemporary developments that
have forced us to confront Enlightenment anew. Political
and legal problems, new scientific paradigms, theoretical
questions, all have opened up fruitful and often surprising
approaches to eighteenth-century intellectual life and
the world it helped to create.

Henrik Berggren is a prominent Swedish journalist and historian
who has lived for extended periods of time in the US and
Germany. He received his M.A. in history at UC Berkeley in
1986 and his Ph.D. at the University of Stockholm in 1995.
Since then he has pursued a career in journalism, and today
he is one of Sweden’s leading public intellectuals.
In 2000 he was appointed as the editor-in-chief of the influential
Arts & Culture section of the
leading daily newspaper of Stockholm, Dagens Nyheter, and since
2003 he writes for its editorial page.
Lars Trägårdh is a historian and independent scholar who has lived
in the US since 1970, while maintaining his personal and professional ties

Germany and Sweden, he received his Ph.D. in history from UC Berkeley in 1993.
Subsequently he taught European history at Barnard College, Columbia University
for ten years. He has also published frequently in Swedish newspapers and magazines,
establishing a role as a public commentator on Swedish and American politics
and society.
