Call for Proposals: International History Research Seminar, London School of Economics
For those readers of the Global History Blog based in the United Kingdom or Europe more generally, here's a recent call for proposals for LSE's International History Research Seminar worth considering. This is a terrific opportunity to present work in progress from scholars at various stages, from in-progress PhDs to post-doctoral fellows to junior faculty.
Here the proposal – note that the due date for submissions is May 25, 2016.
We invite proposals for the Michaelmas term session of next year's LSE International History Research Seminar (HY509).
The seminar welcomes presentations on any aspect of international history, broadly defined, with a focus on the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. The seminar is an ideal environment to present research at an early stage and meet other students and LSE faculty members.
Seminars will be held between September and December (LSE term time).
The International History Research Seminar is open both to LSE and non- LSE presenters. These include PhD students, postdoctoral researchers as well as visiting and teaching fellows.
Each session will feature two speakers presenting on a similar topic. Presenters are expected to submit a long abstract (around 1,000 words) ten days before their presentation. The abstract will be circulated among HY509 participants beforehand. Presentations are typically 30 minutes for each speaker, followed by Q&A.
Those interested in presenting are invited to submit a provisional title, an abstract (300 words maximum), and a short bio to internationalhistory509@gmail.com by Wednesday, 25 May 2016.
We will aim to ensure a balance of doctoral, post-doctoral, and other presenters from LSE and elsewhere. LSE applicants are invited to encourage non-LSE PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, visiting and teaching fellows whom they would like to present with to apply. Special consideration will be given to abstracts that fit well together.
Please feel free to email internationalhistory509@gmail.com if you have any question.
