Call for papers and sessions (last call)
The Seventh European Social Science History Conference will be in
Lisbon, Portugal, 27 February - 1 March 2008. The aim of the ESSHC is
bringing together scholars interested in explaining historical
phenomena using the methods of the social sciences. The conference is
characterized by a lively exchange in many small groups, rather than by
formal plenary sessions. The conference welcomes papers and sessions on
any historical topic and any historical period. It is organized in 28
networks, which cover a certain topic.
As chairs of the network on Material and Consumer Culture we invite
proposals for sessions and papers. Topics of special interest are:
- Consumer Culture and Development.
- Design and Marketing.
- Migration and Material Culture.
- Second Hand Markets. (One session proposed.)
- Material Culture and Trust.
- Commodities and Identities.
Deadline for paper and session proposals is 1 April 2007.
