Being a historian in the period so called as the Industrial Revolution 4.0 – with IT as the main trend, there are certainly many new challenges that must be faced, one of which is Transnational History. Transnational History is not a new thing, but nowdays, transnational become interesting issues to discuss. Placing a local or a national history as part of global history will bring its own appeal, especially for those who have an interest in transnational issues.
On July 22 – August 2, 2019, the Department of History, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada recently held a 2nd International Summer School with the theme “Becoming a Transnational Scholar of Southeast Asia”.
