10th European Social Science History
10th European Social Science History Conference, Vienna, Austria, 23-26 April 2014



Theme Flows:
The on-going globalization of our world can be resumed as flows of people, money, goods, ideas and knowledge. This phenomenon is not new, even though the intensity and reach are unprecedented. This makes the topic a good meeting point for historians and social scientists to assess and harness modes, types and ways in which various gender practices overflowed and traveled between cultures, countries, nations and time periods. Which roles have women and gender played in these global moves? What are their enduring effects on gender and women? Which concepts have been used to study and to comprehend these relations?

We welcome a plurality of theoretical approaches and methods as well as proposals concerning all historical periods with their focus on comparative aspects of flows, moves and transfers.

The Women and Gender network welcomes proposals for theme sessions as well as for individual papers. Sessions composed around thematic, theoretical or conceptual issues are preferred to geographical or epoch-oriented sessions, as they favour a comparative point of view. We also appreciate a global angle, as we hope to make participants from different parts of the world to work together on similar problems.

Every participant can also act as a chair or a commentator outside the session where s/he presents her/his own paper.

Each session must include papers from several countries, with the maximum of two papers from/about one country, to achieve a truly international, comparative discussion. The network chairs may suggest papers to session organisers, particularly to fill a session otherwise incomplete. The final composition of each session is done by the network chairs.

The official language of the conference is English. Proposals in other languages will not be accepted.

How to propose a paper or a session:
1) Please, consult our latest guidelines:
http://esshc.socialhistory.org/guidelines

2) Please fill out the pre-registration form on the ESSHC web-site:
http://esshc.socialhistory.org/esshc-user/pre-registration

and include a 500 words abstract of your paper. Each person proposing a paper, even as part of a session proposal, has to register individually.

Do not send your paper to the network chairs.

Please submit your proposal as soon as possible, and not later than May 15, 2013.

Proposals submitted after the deadline of May 15, 2013, will not be accepted.

We would also like to encourage you to volunteer as chair or discussant.

The ESSHC has a conference fee (cf.
http://esshc.socialhistory.org/registrationinfo). PhD students pay lower fees and can apply for the Jan Lucassen Award for the best paper at the ESSHC by a Phd student (http://esshc.socialhistory.org/award).
