Global moments

Global Moments are breakthrough events that change peoples lives and futures. They are developments that call for significant adaptations leading to new forms of cooperation or conflict. In this project, Historians, Anthropologist, and Archeologists from Norway, Palestine and the USA will pursue research projects centred around a common objective of exploring selected Global Mioments in the history of the Levant, and the way in which peoples identities and traditions have been affected by inter-cultural encounters. The researchers at this project, lead by Leif Manger, had their second annual workshops in Bergen, March 26th - 29th 2007. Global Moments has been approved for funding over the next four years by the Norwegian Research Council. A number of researchers are already well into their work, and information about some of the researchers involved and their individual projects is available on the Global Moments website.
