Niklas Frykman
I am a maritime historian interested in the role of the sea in the making of modern world, and in particular how conflicts over the control over maritime space shaped the history of capitalist globalization in the early modern period. If you want to learn more about my research, please see my Publications or take a look at some of the Projects I am currently working on.
I teach in the History Department at the University of Pittsburgh, where I offer courses on the history of capitalism, colonial North America, and the age of revolution. Please take a look at my Teaching page if you want to learn more.
