About the Author

The Käte Hamburger Research Centre Global Dis:Connect at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München is a leading hub for interdisciplinary scholarship on the dynamics of globalization and disconnection in historical and contemporary contexts. Established to foster innovative research, the Centre brings together scholars from diverse fields including history, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies to explore how global connections shape societies while also generating profound disjunctions. Through its collaborative projects, publications, and international workshops, Global Dis:Connect illuminates the paradoxes of modernity, from migration flows to digital divides, offering critical insights into the forces that both unite and fragment our world. Directed by a team of renowned academics, the Centre's work underscores the importance of understanding disconnection as an integral aspect of global interconnectedness, influencing policy, education, and public discourse worldwide.
