The Eighth European Social Science History Conference will be held at
Ghent, Belgium, from 13 to 16 April 2010. The ESSHC aims to bring
together scholars interested in explaining historical phenomena using
interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the past. The conference is
characterized by a lively exchange in many small panels with 3-5
speakers each, rather than by formal plenary sessions. It is organized
in a large number of networks, among which the World History Network
will host 8 panels but looks also for cross-organisation with other
networks such as those being related to Area Studies, religion, theory
etc.

We invite now the submission of panel proposals consisting of 3-4
papers, a commentator and a chair. It is also possible to submit
proposals for individual papers, but priority is given to coherent panel
proposals. Therefore we encourage people to arrange with colleagues for
a coordinated submission. The aim of the Network is to present most
recent developments in the field of World and Global history and to
encourage cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural discussions. The
deadline for proposals in May 1st 2009.
 
The Conference fee will be EUR 200 for participants who pay in advance,
EUR 250 for participants who pay at the conference. One-day attendance
will be EUR 100 for participants who pay in advance, and EUR 125 for
participants who pay at the conference. A special (MA) student fee is
EUR 50.
 
The Eighth European Social Science History Conference is organized by
the International Institute of Social History. The deadline for
abstracts and pre-registration is May 1st, 2009. One copy should be sent
to the conference secretariat (address below) and one copy to each of
the co-chairs of the network.
