🌍⛏️ Kicking off our FWF-SCARCE workshop “Political Economies of Mining in the Early Modern World”! Mining shaped pre-modern economies, driving global networks, commerce & power. We’ll explore its role across Africa, Asia, Latin America & Europe. Let’s dig into its global and historical impact! 💡📜

A group of around 20 people is sitting in a conference room. Two people (the workshop organisers) are sitting in the front of the room, with a screen projection behind them. The rest od the people (the workshop participants) are sitting around them, in a U-shaped desk arrangement. The atmosphere seems to be a working one, with everybody having papers and coffee cups at their seat.
