As chains of wealth became global in the world economy (Seabroke&Wigan, 2022), so did tax strategies. These topics have gained increasing attention over the past fifteen years as the crisis of 2007/2008 renewed the discussion on inequalities and (fiscal) justice. Humanities and social sciences have played an important role in framing debates on this topic.
CFP: Feminist Labour History

Open Call for Proposals
*** EXTENDED DEADLINE July 20, 2023 ***
Police and intelligence are two concepts that are intimately and invariably linked. From the police utopia of François-Jacques Guillotte (Mémoire sur la réformation de la police de France, soumis au roi en 1749, ed. by J. Seznec, Paris, Hermann, 1974) to the ‘Clearview AI’ affair or the use of facial recognition software based on illegal data by the Belgian police, police work has often been confused with the collection and processing of information.
Call for papers
The neoliberal turn and the history of everyday life in Central and Eastern Europe
in the decades following the regime changes of 1989-1990
Special issue of the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe
to be published in Spring 2024
Call for Papers
Ethnic Identities and Industrial Memory
Workshop, Vác, Hungary, 29-30 August 2023
Qualitative and quantitative research alike is invited, and the organisers encourage students in any stage of their studies from all disciplines related to economic and social history to apply.
The conference will be organised by students for students, but with the experience and organisational expertise of the Edinburgh’s Economic and Social History Research Group. It is an excellent opportunity to present papers and receive critical feedback from peers and renowned experts in the field, as well as build a network with others in the economic and social history community.
