*Call for Papers*
The International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and
Mobility (T2M) invites proposals for papers to be presented at the
Fourth International Conference on the History of Transport, Traffic and
Mobility, to be held in *Paris and Marne-la-Vallée, France on 28**th**
September-1st October 2006.*
Papers may address any aspect of the social, cultural, economic,
technological, ecological and political history of transport, traffic
and mobility. However, we encourage the submission of proposals relating
to the conference theme: History, Safety and Sustainable Mobility.
The interplay between safety and sustainability opens up important lines
of historical inquiry. In what ways do the values of safety and
sustainability shape the expectations of mobility users, producers and
regulators? For example, beginning in the 1970s, the resurgence of the
tram, in opposition to the automobile, in urban centers initiated a
series of intense debates. In France, for example, several social
science research projects (/RATP Réseau 2000/, /Institut pour la Ville
en Mouvement/, etc) were established to address the debate. It is hoped
that this theme will generate new objects and methods of inquiry in the
emerging field of mobility history.
Such a broad subject suggests the value of interdisciplinary approaches.
Relevant contributions from cultural geographers, sociologists,
anthropologists, economists, and other scholars who do not define
themselves as historians are therefore very welcome, as well as those
from historians who are not specialists in T2M. Participants are
encouraged, though not required, to organize panels on this or any other
theme. A panel consists of a chair and normally up to three speakers; no
commentator is required. We encourage transnational, comparative and
transmodal approaches, and welcome proposals exploring theoretical or
methodological issues as well as those of a more empirical nature. We
especially invite recent entrants to the profession and doctoral
students to submit proposals.
This conference will be hosted by Centre d’Histoire Sociale du XXe
siècle, University Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, and the Ecole Nationale
des Ponts et Chaussées. The conference language is English and French,
all the working panels should be in English.The deadline for abstracts
and a short cv (max. 1 page each; Word or rich text format only) is 31
March 2006. Send proposals to: [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Notification of acceptance will be sent by
30 April 2006. The full text of papers accepted must be submitted by 15
July 2006 if they are to be included on the conference CD-ROM sent in
advance to all participants and if they are to be eligible for T2M
Awards. All participants are absolutly required to register before the
1st September, in order to secure the conference programme.
