Workshop
Date
16 May 2025 - 17 May 2025

Organizer
Unit for Economic History, Department of Economy and Society, School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg

Keynote speakers

Markus Lampe (University of Vienna); Jakob Molinder (Uppsala University)

Aim of the workshop

The main aim of the Workshop is to gather young researchers in a friendly and non-imposing environment where they can present their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers and leading economic historians.

Another aim of the workshop is to demonstrate the breadth of Economic History as an academic discipline, so there is no theme to the workshop, and submissions are encouraged from any sub-field of economic and social history.

Early career scholars are warmly welcome to apply, but we particularly encourage presentations by PhD students and post-docs. 

The Workshop strives to accommodate as many speakers as possible. The workshop is a two-day event, and accepted speakers are expected to participate on both days (not just on the day they present).

Practical information

There will be no registration fee for this workshop. The organisers will offer lunch on both days, a workshop dinner, as well as refreshments during the workshop. The participants are responsible for the costs of hotel and travel arrangements themselves. 

Submission of abstract

Prospective speakers should submit a max one-page abstract and a short CV to Raisa Rubio (raisa.rubio@gu.se ) no later than March 15, 2025 and expect an email acknowledging receipt. Notification of acceptance will be given by March 31, 2025.
