CFP - LSE Graduate Economic History Seminar

The Department of Economic History at the London School of Economics and Political Science is now inviting applications for the Graduate Economic History Seminar series for the academic year 2021/22. The series runs weekly during term time on Wednesdays, from 1 to 2pm. Seminars are regularly attended by faculty and research students. The format is a 30-minute presentation followed by 30 minutes for questions and discussion. The seminar is ideal for PhD students at an advanced stage of research. It provides an opportunity to present a paper or a chapter, receive feedback, and test ideas and methodologies. We welcome qualitative and quantitative work alike on any topic of economic history, and we seek a diverse coverage of areas and time periods. We encourage students from all disciplines related to economic history to apply.

We invite speakers to attend the seminar in person if circumstances allow, but will facilitate virtual presentations throughout Michaelmas term (October-December 2021). The deadline to apply for presenting in Michaelmas term is 6th September 2021. Deadlines to present in Lent and Summer terms will be communicated at a later stage. To apply, please submit an abstract of your paper or chapter (approx. 500 words) and a short CV to all three workshop conveners Juan Rivas-Moreno, Mikhail Kolosov and Jennifer Kohler: J.J.Rivas-Moreno@lse.ac.uk; M.Kolosov@lse.ac.uk; j.kohler@lse.ac.uk

Please indicate preferred dates you would be available to present, institutional affiliation and an expected submission date of your PhD. Successful applicants will hear back from us by mid-September. To stay updated with the seminar program, follow us on Twitter @LSEEcHist or check the departmental website. We are looking forward to receiving your applications.
