Seminario Internacional: Nuevas perspectivas sobre la EspaƱa de mediados del siglo XX (1931-1959), 4 JUNIO 2021 

The difficult months of the global pandemic have stopped many academic congresses and seminars, limiting possibilities for joint discussion and reflection, vital for ongoing research for early career historians. As a result, the University of Leeds and the University of Granada, in association with their respective departments of modern History, are organising an online international seminar on 4 June 2021 on the history of modern Spain in the mid-20th century. The objective is to create a space for debate and Exchange of ideas, where doctoral students (or those recently graduated) can present their most recent research, and discover research in other universities.  

We welcome all proposals, regardless of focus or methodological specialism provided they fit, broadly speaking, into the history of mid-20th century Spain: the Second Republic, the Civil War, and early Francoism. Papers should be 20-30 minutes long and delivered in either English or Spanish. 

Proposals should be sent to: Seminar.leedsgranada21@gmail.com. The deadline is Monday 21 December 2020. Proposals can be submitted in either English or Spanish and should include:

-    Name, e-mail, and affiliation

-    Title

-    Abstract (max 500 words) and keywords (max 6 words)

-    Brief CV or biography

We look forward to reading your proposals. Any questions or queries can be addressed to the e-mail above.

The bibliography is crowdsourced and draws on the collective expertise of the BHC membership. The BHC wishes to expand the list of references already curated and invites your contributions to the bibliography (The current list of references contains 154 titles).
