Social and Labour History News

The recent transnational and global turn in social sciences [1] has encouraged experts of colonial and imperial history to explore the history of colonial empires in the light of globalising effects 

Scholars have used various frameworks to analyze mobility and cultural exchange in port cities in the Indian Ocean World, recognizing these as places of significant cultural, social, economic, and political diversity. However, the port cities of Southeast Asia have remained largely out of focus in this broader literature despite them being central points in networks of global exchange, constituting connecting hubs between regions further north, south, east, and west.

Comme chaque année, la Mission historique de la Banque de France propose des allocations de recherche en histoire qui s’adressent à des étudiants régulièrement inscrits en mastère 1 ou 2, en thèse ou en année post-doctorale et relevant des disciplines suivantes : histoire, sociologie, sciences politiques, sciences économiques, droit et gestion.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The BHC Doctoral Colloquium in Business History will be held on April 6th and 7th, 2022. We are strongly hoping to meet in Mexico, but because of the pandemic, it remains possible that this prestigious workshop for Ph.D. students could be held remotely via Zoom. Therefore, until the last moment, and depending on variants and cases in Mexico, we will keep the possibility of moving to a full online DC by February 2022 (TBC). We will also schedule a few professional development sessions at different times, which will be held remotely.
