From: On Behalf Of Carl Zimring
Hello everyone,
We invite you to take part in the Urban Network panels of the 37th annual meeting of the Social Science History Association, November 1-4, 2012, in Vancouver. The members of the Social Science History Association share a common interest in interdisciplinary and systematic approaches to historical research (including, but by no means limited to, sociology, urban planning, geography, demography, economics, and political science). SSHA is a conference with particular interests in interdisciplinary research, and we encourage proposals on environmental topics.
The thematic topic of the 2012 annual meeting is “Histories of Capitalism.” However, we welcome papers and panels on all urban topics. Proposed panel topics include:
- The Occupy Movement as an urban phenomenon
- Financial Crises and Cities
- Capital and the Rise and Fall of Cities
- Urban Economies
- Vancouver’s History and Development
- Cities of the Pacific Rim
- Olympic Games and Host Cities
- Migration and Immigration
- Cities and the Environment
- Urban Governance
- Crime and Justice in the City
- The Ancient City
To propose a paper or panel please submit: Paper Title, Brief Abstract, and Contact Information at <http://conference.ssha.org/>. While we welcome paper submissions, panel proposals are encouraged. Panels should include an organizer, discussant, and at least four papers. The deadline for paper and/or panel submissions is March 1, 2012.
For more information on the meeting as well as the call for proposals, please refer to the SSHA website: http://www.ssha.org or contact either of the Urban Network co-chairs (Carl Zimring -- [log in to unmask] or Megan Stubbendeck -- [log in to unmask]).
