Interested in working with a dynamic team of fellow scholars to develop the Project?

If so, GUHP is interested in you! The Board and the IAC are both works in progress. We invite
all scholars with a passionate interest in the field to send ideas to Carl Nightingale at cn6@buffalo.edu. The Board has a special interest in recruiting leadership from scholars who work in universities in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific.


Financial Support for the Global Urban History Project


GUHP is a project of the Rowboat Family Foundation which has generously supported its start-up costs and early organizational development.

In addition, GUHP thanks Dean Robin Schulze of the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences for making the services of our Graduate Assistant and Editor of "Noteworthy in Global Urban History," Guangzhi Huang, available to the Project during 2017-18.

The Latin American Studies Program of Ohio University has also supported a Research Assistant to help us compile GUHP's Bibliography Project.
