In a time of increasingly polarized debates, understanding the global dynamics of publics is more crucial than ever. Building on a recent AHR History Lab Forum (American Historical Review 129:2, 2024), this roundtable introduces the concept of globalizing publics and its potential in creating a new global history of communication.

The event is followed by a reception celebrating the start of the new academic year with the Vienna Global History Group.
