Editorial Team

Editorial Team

Comparativ is jointly edited by Katja Castryck-Naumann, Megan Maruschke, Matthias Middell, and Hannes Siegrist. The editors prepare the annual symposium of the editorial board, during which both the editorial team and board evaluate incoming proposals for thematic issues as well as invite scholars to explore new and promising themes in an upcoming issue.

Editorial Office

The editorial office is headed by Forrest Kilimnik (since 2024). The editorial office manages the peer-review process and coordinates with the editorial and advisory boards. It also organizes mutual endeavors between Comparativ and the e-journal Connections: A Journal for Historians and Area Specialists  (link: https://research.uni-leipzig.de/~eniugh/connections/

The editorial office is connected to the headquarters of the European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH), located at the Research Centre Global Dynamics (ReCentGlobe) at Leipzig University.

Editorial Board

The board consists of scholars representing different facets of the editorial strategy of Comparativ, assisting the editorial team to select innovative topics and approaches for future issues. An annual editorial symposium reviews the submitted proposals and discusses recent developments in the field of transnational, transregional, and global history in order to identify trends not yet covered sufficiently by the international scholarly community of global historians.
