Taking Stock and Moving Ahead

Call for Papers for the 2007 Social Science History Association Meeting,
November 15-18, Chicago Illinois

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.

Panels that focus on, among other things, are encouraged:

Cultural and Social History

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.
