42nd Annual Meeting of the Social
Science History Association
Montréal, Québec Canada
Montréal, Québec Canada
2-5 November 2017
Submission Deadline: 3 March 2017
"Changing Social Connections in Time and Space"
Please consider participation in Macrohistorical Dynamics (MHD) panels of the 42nd annual meeting of the Social
Science History Association, November 2-5, 2017 in Montréal. For more
information on the meeting as well as the call for proposals,
please refer to the SSHA website at www.ssha.org. Here
is the SSHA call for proposals (link).
The deadline
for paper and/or panel submissions is March 3, 2017.
In recognition of Canada’s policy of official bilingualism, SSHA will
accept paper presentations in either English or French for our meeting in
Montreal. Sessions may be monolingual English, monolingual French, or bilingual
English/French. Session organizers must clearly indicate which language(s) will
be spoken at their session, and paper submitters must indicate if their paper
will be delivered in French. All paper abstracts must be submitted with an
English version, regardless of the language in which the paper will be
presented. Please contact the Program Committee co-chair Barry Eidlin (barry.eidlin@mcgill.ca) with any questions regarding
conference language policies.
The thematic topic of the annual meeting is “Changing Social Connections in Time and Space” – a
theme that works very well with the research interests of many of the scholars
involved in the Macrohistorical Dynamics network.
Macrohistorical
Dynamics (MHD) is an interdisciplinary social science research field that
focuses on problems of large-scale, comparative historical
inquiry. Contributors to the field have brought perspective on a wide
variety of problem areas, including macro- and historical sociology;
comparative histories; world history; world-system analysis; comparative study
of civilizations; philosophy of history; and studies of long-term
socio-ecological, technological, demographic, cultural, and political trends
and transformations. The
Macrohistorical Dynamics network brings a rigorous perspective to bear on
questions having to do with “large” history.
The list
of MHD panel themes for 2017 is open, and we encourage you to submit proposals
for panel themes or individual paper topics.
The MHD
network will be able to host at least six panels in 2017 and will also be able
to place additional papers through co-sponsorship with other networks (for
example, with History/Methods, Politics, Culture, State-Society, Historical
Geography, etc.).
SSHA requests that submissions be made by
means of its web conference management system. Paper title, brief abstract, and
contact information should be submitted on the site www.ssha.org, where the
general SSHA 2017 call for papers is also available. (If you haven’t used the system
previously you will need to create an account, which is a very simple
process.) The direct link
for submissions is now open for submissions (link).
NOTE:
There is an SSHA rule concerning book sessions. For a book session to proceed, the
author (or at least one of multiple authors) MUST be present. Proposals for book sessions should
only be submitted if there is high confidence that the author will be able to
travel to Baltimore November 17-20, 2016.
SSHA has
set up a mechanism for networks to share papers, so even if you have a solo
paper, send the idea along. It
is possible and useful to identify a paper not only by the MHD network, but
also by some other co-sponsoring networks--for example, Theory/Methods,
Historical Geography, Politics, Culture, Economics, etc. Co-sponsored panels and papers are
encouraged by the SSHA Program Committee as a means of broadening the
visibility of the various networks.
Feel
free to contact the co-chairs of the Macrohistorical Dynamics network for further information.
