The International Institute for Social History will organize the Nineth European Social Science History conference at Glasgow University, Scotland, UK, 11 - 14 April 2012.
The deadline for sending in paper and session proposals is May 1, 2011.
Please note it is no longer possible to send in a paper or session proposal, the deadline was May 1. You can still register as listener.
If you have been in touch with the network chairs or session organizers about a paper proposal and still have to pre-register, please contact the secretariat at esshc@iisg.nl.
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. The conference language is English.
All conference participants are required to register.

Gather four speakers who each will present a paper on a related topic, a commentator who will start the discussion with a prepared comment on the papers and a chair. The roles of session organizer, chair and commentator can be fulfilled by the same or different persons. Confirm participation and arrange with these individuals the (date of) exchange of papers and the way the session will be conducted. If possible, have one or more substitute speakers at hand in case of withdrawal of one of the speakers. Submit the proposal for a session on the pre-registration form for each individual speaker. The proposed session title can be filled in each form. Additional information on the proposed session can be filled in (by the session organizer(s) only) in the extra session field. The deadline is May 1, 2011, but please send in your form as early as possible. Contact speakers regularly, to make sure that the preparation of the session is progressing as you would want it to be.
Fill in the personal and address information in the pre-registration form, click next and select that you would like to register as spectator.
On the registration form there is the possibility to volunteer as chair and or discussant for selected networks. So we hope to have a list of volunteers per network when the sessions are being finalized.
On the website you can log on to your Personal page. After the pre-registration you will receive a log-in and password. With these you can log on to your personal page. The personal page shows all registration information we have on you and a log of the e-mails we have sent to date.
The advantage is that you can always check what information we have sent you and when.
Sometimes our e-mail messages disappear in spam filters, but via this personal page the info in these mails can always be retrieved. You also need to log on with the password/log-in combination to upload your paper and for the final registration and payment (information on payment will follow in the Fall of 2011).
