Call for Papers, deadline – 15 May 2024
We welcome paper proposals that engage with one or more of these images on the theme of human, animal, and environmental exploitation and its legacies: https://thehistorylabplus.wordpress.com/exploited/.
We are, as last year, particularly interested in receiving proposals from early-career historians that:
- apply atypical methods and/or technologies;
- result from collaboration between job sectors or countries;
- are interdisciplinary;
- have attracted new audiences.
Please send either an individual proposal or a proposal for a panel or roundtable to conference.historylabplus@gmail.com by 23:59 on 15 May 2024.
Individual proposals should contain: an abstract (250 words), a short biography (100 words), and, in order of preference, how you are able to present your research (in a 20-minute paper, 10-minute paper, 5-minute lightning talk, or a poster).
Panel or roundtable proposals should contain: a description of the panel or roundtable theme and format (250-words) and, for each speaker, an individual abstract (250 words) and a short biography (100 words).
For either proposal type, please also indicate whether and why you would like to be considered for a conference bursary to defray your travel and accommodation expenses, should funding become available.
The History Lab + Conference will take place on 25-26 July 2024 at the Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation at the University of Hull.
