Women and Work in the City of London, 1870-1970 Supervisory team: Rowena Olegario (Faculty of History, University of Oxford) and Clara Harrow (Head Archivist, Baring Archive Ltd.) Applications are invited for an Open-Oxford-Cambridge AHRC DTP-funded Collaborative Doctoral Award at the University of Oxford, in partnership with the Baring Archive Ltd. The deadline is January 8th, 2021, for a  starting date of October 2021.

We are also concern...

While we know what the patterns are, as economic historians and social scientists generally, we have struggled to understand how the patterns developed or how we might induce the patterns of developed societies in developing (or undeveloped) societies. The program committee calls for papers that take a more granular approach to questions related to institutions, collective decisio...
