Call for Papers: 39th Meeting of the Portuguese Association of Economic and Social History

39th Meeting of the Portuguese Association of Economic and Social History at the University of Algarve (Campus de Gambelas, Faro, Portugal)

Conference, Circulations: from local to global
Deadline for submissions: 15 April; Conference: 15-16 November.

Mobility is a key problem in Economic and Social History. Regardless of the period under analysis, people circulate, carrying with them commodities, capital, ideas, languages, traditions. They circulate to survive, to trade, to explore, to conquer, to migrate, and also for leisure. These constant circulations are at the origin of many interactions, impacts, conflicts, changes and resistances, as well as many social, economic, institutional and cultural transformations. In an increasingly interconnected world, these processes can be analyzed under several perspectives and in various scales, going from the local to the global. We invite scholars, from any nationality, who wish to contribute to this topic to submit their panel or paper proposals. Proposals on any other topic in Economic and Social History are also welcome.

For more information on how to submit a proposal, pleased visit the conference site or contact aphes2019@gmail.com. Note that participation in the 39th Meeting of APHES is reserved to members with their 2019’s membership fee up-to-date (30€ normal/15€ student). Accepted participants that are not members of APHES will have to become members and pay the 2019 membership fee. They may do so upon registration.
