Madeleine Herren-Oesch is a Professor of Modern History and the Director of the Institute for European Global Studies at the University of Basel. Though she is trained in European historiography and specialized in the history of international organizations and transnational movements, she is a passionate historian with a strong interest in Global History and in curiosity-driven transdisciplinary and collaborative research and teaching.

Professor Herren-Oesch's most recent research projects are related to two different historiographical scopes of action. On the one hand, they investigate the ways of doing historical research with the new tools and possibilities of digital humanities, as can be seen in the case of the League of Nations related LONSEA database. On the other, they discuss the historical impact of transgressing disciplinary borders with the aim to find an adequate education for empowering young academics to handle the challenges of the 21st century.
