Call for Papers for the 2007 Social Science History Association Meeting,

The theme of this year's SSHA meeting is: "History and the Social Sciences: Taking Stock and Moving Ahead." We especially encourage panels and papers that consider this theme, broadly conceived.

The labor network is looking for complete panels and individual papers for panels dealing with labor and working-class history, broadly defined.

The Walter P. Reuther Library, Wayne State University is pleased to announce the opening of three collections that pertain to the American Federation of Teachers historical collections.

Cultural and Social History is the quarterly, peer-reviewed journal of the Social History Society. Launched in 2004, the journal is committed to furthering the dialogue between social and cultural historians. The editors welcome articles that make connections across the broad territory of cultural and social history and across chronological and geographical boundaries. The journal is also intended as a forum for methodological debate of broad relevance to historians of any field in which the future directions of the discipline can be discussed and, it is hoped, initiated.

To encourage the study of labor, Labor History is pleased to announce the second annual Dissertation Prize for labor studies, broadly defined. In keeping with the journal's dedication to a multi-disciplined approach to the field, and its commitment to chronological and geographical breadth, the prize will be awarded to the best Ph.D. dissertation on a labor topic, historical or contemporary, in the US or worldwide, regardless of discipline.
