Quite a lot of recent work uses empirical sources to talk about families, and, to a lesser extent, communities in transnational and global contexts. However there have been fewer efforts to theorize these developments. This international workshop aims to

1. Better theorize the impact of global and transnational movement and networks on family structures and functions
2. Better theorize the ways global and transnational movements and networks affected the evolution of existing communities and influenced the formation of new ones, across the globe.
3. Better integrate the history of emotions and familial experiences of i.e. death, and separation into a global and transnational history
4. Discuss ways to better integrate non-European developments, themes, sources, and historiographies, into the study of the global history of families, communities and emotion
5. Discuss alternatives to teleological understandings of the history of emotion
6. Discuss chronologies based on early modern global history
