The annual Social History Society Conference is the largest gathering of social and cultural historians in the UK. Over more than four decades, our members have transformed historical research, inspired challenging work and explored the many ways in which our social worlds are made, imagined, shared and shattered.
Our 2019 conference, hosted by the University of Lincoln, will feature a keynote lecture from Professor Olivette Otele (Bath Spa University). The conference will also see the second SHS Book Prize awarded, as well as the winners announced for the best postgraduate paper and poster. There will also be opportunities to meet the editors of both our journal Cultural & Social History and our New Directions in Social and Cultural History book series with Bloomsbury.
Proposals for panels, individual papers and research posters are warmly invited from new and established historians, covering (pre)medieval, early modern, modern and contemporary research, from the local to the global, to address one or more of our conference strands:
• Diversity, Minorities & “Others”
• Spaces & Places
• Politics, Policy & Citizenship
• Senses, Self & Emotions
• Social Action, Social Justice & Humanitarianism
• Life Cycles, Families & Communities
• Economies, Cultures & Consumption
• Deviance, Inclusion & Exclusion
