15past15 – Global History Podcast (Digital History Lab, Zürich)

15past15 is a podcast which discusses how the past is made, and by whom.

15past15’s first season focused on history and history-writing in East Asia, from the sixteenth century to today. Interviewees debated the indigenous historical traditions of China and Japan in particular, and the ways that understandings of the past evolved at times of acute political and societal change.

Its second season examines changing understandings of Wealth / Reichtum / Richesse, from the medieval to the modern, and from Europe to Asia, the Americas, and beyond. What was the relationship between wealth and natural resources? How has wealth been expressed, both intellectually and in terms of material culture? How have wealth inequalities affected power, health, and global development? And why should historians care?
