medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Social History Society
Annual Conference, 8-10 January 2004,
with the University of Rouen
marking also the launch of
Cultural and Social History: the Journal of the Social History Society
CALL FOR PAPERS
From 2004, the Social History Society will change the format of its annual conference. Instead of a single theme for each conference, it is introducing thematic strands which will run through successive annual conferences. This change will parallel the publication from 2004 on of the Society's new journal: Cultural and Social History.
This Call encourages proposals for papers promoting wide-ranging discussions of the present state and future of cultural and social history, reflecting these exciting new developments in the Society's history. Papers will be considered for publication in Cultural and Social History. Proposals are welcomed from scholars interested in reflecting on policy and practice in social and cultural history, including those with backgrounds in cultural studies, history of art and the visual arts, literary studies, law and criminology, anthropology and the social sciences in general.
The six thematic strands are as follows. For further information please contact the strand organisers:
Cultures and Identities, (contact Shani D'Cruze - [log in to unmask])
Self and Society (contact Lauren Kassell - [log in to unmask])
Life Styles and Life Cycles (contact Mary Clare Martin - [log in to unmask])
Deviance, Inclusion and Exclusion (contact David Nash - [log in to unmask])
Production and Consumption (contact Barry Doyle - [log in to unmask])
Cultural Mapping and Transnational Exchanges (contact David Hopkins - [log in to unmask])
See also the Society's website (http://sochist.ntu.ac.uk), which includes more detailed calls for each strand or contact the Society's Secretary, [log in to unmask]
Proposals are invited for papers in any historical context, period or culture. They should consist of title and abstract (around 350 words; no more than a side of A4). Proposals from postgraduate students are particularly welcomed. Submission of sessions or panels of three related papers (plus chair, if liked) are encouraged, and especially those for panels which would signal engagement between historians working on different historical periods, or panels exploring links between history and other disciplines. Suggestions for alternative forums of debate are also invited. There will be two submission dates for abstracts. Those abstracts accepted which were submitted by 1 May 2003 will be notified by 15 June 2003; those abstracts accepted which were submitted by 10 September 2003 will be notified in early October.
Abstracts should be sent to: Mrs. Linda Persson, Administrative Secretary, SHS, Lancaster University, Bailrigg, Lancaster, LA1 4YG (tel: 01524-592605; Fax: 01524-846102; Email: [log in to unmask]) for distribution to the conference committee. Submitters of proposals are encouraged to indicate the strand(s) they feel most appropriate for their papers, but the ultimate decision will be made by the conference committee.
