Hi Folks,
I am putting together a panel on bodies in the workplace for the 2014 Berkshire Conference on Women's History. One paper will examine flight attendants' grievances pertaining to body issues, e.g. grooming, weight, uniforms, etc. and another will discuss issues related to bodies and work in the banking industry. I am still looking for 1 or 2 more papers, as well as a chair and a commentator. If you would like to be a part of this panel, please contact me: juliasmith [at] trentu.ca.
All the best,
As of 6 December 2012, the website of the European Historical Population Samples Network is online: www.ehps-net.eu.
EHPS-Net started in June 2011. It brings scholars together to create a common format for databases containing information on persons, families, and households (such as birth, death, marriage). This so-called Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) forms an integrated and joint interface between many European databases in order to transcend the currently regional and national studies.
The Volkskrant-IISH Thesis Award 2012 has been awarded to Floris Keehnen for his thesis “Trinkets (f)or Treasure? The role of European material culture in intercultural contacts in Hispaniola during early colonial times”.
