De empiriska exemplen kan hämtas från vitt skilda tidsepoker, liksom teoretiska infallsvinklar från andra discipliner. Ambitionen är att fördjupa förståelsen av hur genus (konstruktioner av maskulinitet /och /feminitet) uppfattats /och /kopplats till tidens drivande händelser/institutioner och tankesystem. Men det är framförallt en stor brytningspunkt i den västerländska historien som kommer att stå i fokus - det förra sekelskiftet fram till och med det första världskriget. Kursen startar tisdagen den 9 januari mellan 15-17 vid Stockholms universitet, Historiska institutionen. Den pågår sedan 5 tisdagar i rad tom 13 februari. Kursansvarig är Yvonne Hirdman Vill ni delta kontakta mig direkt: yvonne.hirdman@historia.su.se PhD Course in Economic History December 11-13, 2006, Copenhagen “Why economics needs history (and vice versa)” Modern economic history is about applying modern economic theory and methods to historical problems. The background for this course is a desire amongst economic historians to open the eyes of young economists to the wide array of possibilities for working with economic history within their individual areas of specialization. In 1993, two economic historians, Robert Fogel and Douglass North, were awarded the Nobel Prize “for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change.” Human history has many unanswered questions, and economics has a vital role to play in answering them. Econometricians will find fertile ground to test estimation techniques on historical data, and theorists will find a wealth of puzzles waiting for a theoretical solution. Prof. Gregory Clark (University of California, Davis), a leading economic historian and a member of the editorial board of Explorations in Economic History, will present a broad overview of the opportunities and challenges within the field of economic history. He will also talk about the opportunities for publishing in economic history journals. Faculty from the Department of Economics at the University of Copenhagen, who have experience working with economic history and economic historians, will also give presentations. The course will be held at the University of Copenhagen. Se anslagstavlan för program. This course will serve as a useful background to the PhD course “Lectures on Globalization in the Long Run” taught by Jeffrey Williamson, Laird Bell Professor of Economics at Harvard University, to be held from March 5-7, 2007.

Konferenser XVth World Economic History Congress Utrecht, the Netherlands, 3-7 August 2009 First call for Session Proposals (October 2006) The International Economic History Association (IEHA) will hold its fifteenth World Economic History Congress in Utrecht, the Netherlands, August 2009. The Congress will last five days. Each day of the Congress will be divided into four time blocks of 90 minutes each(two before lunch and two after lunch). More information on the Utrecht Congress is available on the congress website: www.wehc2009.org The scientific programme of the Congress will be organized on the same principle as the fourteenth International Economic History Congress in Helsinki in 2006. There will be approximately 100 sessions spread over five days of meetings. The IEHA welcomes sessions on all topics in economic history, history of economics, demographic history, social history, urban history, cultural history, gender studies, methodological aspects of historical research, and related fields. The IEHA has a particularly strong desire to attract sessions on the period before 1800 and sessions that include countries other than those of Western Europe and North America. Organizers will be given wide discretion to shape the format of sessions to be the most attractive and efficient given the topic and the participants invited. There will be two calls for session proposals. The deadline for the First Call is April 30, 2007. The deadline for the second call is April 30, 2008. The Organizing Committee believes that this two-round procedure will allow those wishing to propose broad themes, summaries of a subfield, or complex organizational arrangements such as pre-conferences or cross refereeing two years to plan and organize the session. At the same time, this procedure will reserve ample space on the programme for new ideas and fresh topics to be announced a year and a few months before the Congress. In this way it is hoped to strike a reasonable balance between reports on current research and new topics and sessions that require substantial time to organize and prepare. This is the First Call for Session Proposals. From submissions received before the 30th of April 2007, the Executive Committee of the IEHA will select all proposals it sees fit to be included in the programme. Given the early date of this first deadline, the Executive Committee does not expect session organizers to present a full panel of participants. Indeed organizers are encouraged to make an open call for papers once their session has been selected for the programme. However a tentative list of participants should be available for publication on the website before the 1st of October 2007. A Second Call for Session Proposals will be published in October 2007. From submissions received by the 30th of April 2008, the Executive Committee will fill all but five of the remaining session slots. The five remaining slots will be filled by the Executive Committee with sessions on topics the committee feels should be on the programme. Organizers of sessions selected in the second round will also be encouraged to publish a call for papers for their session. For all sessions a final list of participants and paper titles, a time schedule for the session, and the congress papers or abstracts must be submitted before the 31st of May 2009, for publication on the Congress website. Scholars and the general public will have access to the website and will be able to search, read, and download papers of interest in advance of the Congress. There will be no distinction between sessions submitted in reply to the First or Second Call for Papers. Each session organizer will be given two time blocks; no extra time blocks will be allocated (organizers wishing to extend their session have to submit a proposal in the Second Round). Time blocks will be consecutive on the same day unless the Merkurius 3
