The Commodity Frontiers Initiative hosts a round table discussion on Alessandro Stanziani’s recent monograph Capital Terre Une histoire longue du monde d'après (XIIe-XXIe siècle).

Silence occurs in every oral history interview and comes in many forms. Some silences are striking, others are barely noticeable. Some express comfort, others discomfort. Some signify a refusal to speak, others do not. The meanings of silence are myriad: it may express taboo, trauma, forgetting, reluctance, oppression, deceit, politeness, censorship, secrecy, contemplation, reflection, or simply that there is no need to explain.

Between 1845 and 1879, a number of devastating famines occured in Ireland, India, and Cape Colony – colonies of the British empire – killing millions of people. While the Great famines of Ireland (1845) and Bengal (1943) have received widespread scholarly and public attention, critical discussions of other famines have not been consistent.

3 May 14.00- 15.30 ROUNDTABLE: DIGITAL LABOUR HISTORY AND LABOUR STUDIES

The digital age has transformed historical and labour research. Mass digitization of archival sources, novel computational methods and the rise of the digital public sphere encourage us to re-think how we research labour and write history in the twenty-first century. It is high time to scrutinize the ”digital turn” in the context of labour history and labour studies.

It seems strange, now, to think that Marianne Hirsch’s concept of postmemory is less than 30 years old. Memory Studies and Trauma Studies have become large academic fields in their own right, spanning the arts, humanities and sciences, but few single concepts have dominated the field in the way that postmemory does.

The American Political Science Association (APSA) is pleased to announce a Call for Papers from scholars interested in attending the upcoming APSA MENA Political Science Conference.
