At the ELHN 2024 Conference, the Military Labour History Working Group will have the following panel sessions:
- Visual sources, material artefacts and military labour – how do we tell stories about military labour history with visual sources and artefacts, and what might they tell us that other text-based sources cannot?
- Military labour in the early modern era – c. 1400-1800.
- Recruiting military labour - for example, conscription, recruitment marketing campaigns, coercion.
- Gendering military labour - for example, gendered division(s) of military labour.
Please send the following information to the WG coordinators:
- Your name and any institutional affiliation
- The name of the panel for which you are nominating your paper.
- The title of your presentation.
- An abstract of 300 words.
