The AHR Conversation, an experiment in the publishing history of this journal, assembles a group of historians to discuss a topic of general concern using technological means to create a set of ...give-and-take exchanges that capture as much as possible the liveliness and openness of a discussion. This year's topic is "How Size Matters: The Question of Scale in History." The Editor as moderator was joined by Sebouh David Aslanian, a scholar of early modern Armenian and world history at UCLA; Joyce E. Chaplin, a historian of the environment and of science from Harvard University; Kristin Mann, an African historian at Emory University; and Ann McGrath, a scholar of colonialism and Indigenous history at the Australian National University. In addition, all of these scholars have an active interest in global and world history, which largely provided the theme of the conversation.
