Third European Congress on World and Global History Theme: Connections and Comparisons 14-17 April 2011, London School of Economics & Political Science, United Kingdom
THEME: CONNECTIONS AND COMPARISONS
Recent decades have seen the re-emergence and, on an unprecedented scale, the further development of various interacting strands of world, global and trans-national history, all sharing the aim of transcending national historiographies. Connections and comparisons have been central to these intellectual enterprises. The third European Congress on World and Global History, to be held in London at the LSE in April 2011, provides an opportunity for sustained reflection on these themes.
The organizers invite paper proposals for examining comparisons, connections and entanglements between polities, societies, communities and individuals situated in, or spanning, different regions of the world. The programme of the congress now consists of over 90 panels. Organizers particularly welcome proposals for papers addressing the following topics:
- Pre-1500 Trans-Regional Connections and Comparisons (including, but not limited to, trade, ‘world’ religions, empires, migration, cultural transfers and ‘world systems’)
- Colonial Taxation in Global Perspective
- Comparing Property Rights in Peasant Societies
- The Spread of Bourgeois Ideology and its Relations to Economic Change – NEW
- Hidden Winners of Colonialism: Involvement of European Hinterland in Overseas Colonialism
- Popularization of Knowledge through History, Literature and Philosophy
- Second World War Labour Policies and Wartime Labour History
- The European Semi-periphery in Recent Writings on Early Modern Global History
- Discourses of ‘Zero Hours’ and New Beginnings
- Maritime Law of Warfare and its Impact on Creation of International Law & Early Globalization
- Transformation of Aristocracy in the 19th Century: Global Perspectives
- Representation of Post-Colonial States in International Organisations
- The Invention of the Electronic Telegraph and Technological Globalization
- The History of Area Studies in the Soviet Union and beyond in Comparative Perspective
- Pension Provision & Governance: Global Perspectives
- Speculative Philosophy of History and Research on World History

Email: swusaic(at)@hotmail.com - CFP Deadline: August 15, 2010. Human Rights and Religion in Historical Perspective. Historians have only recently turned to the study of human rights, which was long the preserve of legal academics and political scientists. Among the many topics in need of serious historical study, the relationship between human rights and religion is among the most urgent. Religious belief has often been a crucial motivator for human rights activism. Just as often, religion has been a source of grave human rights abuses. And of course religious belief and practice have themselves frequently been coded as human rights.
The conference seeks to interrogate the relationship between human rights and religion in three registers: religion as a source of human rights, religion as itself a human right, and, finally, religion as a cause of human rights violations. This interrogation is intended to be historical, paying careful attention to changes over time in each of these registers, and transnational, noting regional and national variation in the nature of the relationship between religion and human rights.
Process
The conference will be held at Boston College from April 8 to April 10, 2011.
The conference organizers hope to cover travel and lodging expenses for all participants. It is expected that an edited volume will follow from the conference, though this will not be simply a conference proceedings, but will take the conference papers as a starting point.
Please send by e-mail a proposed paper title, brief abstract (250 words/1 page), and a short (max. 2 page) CV to Devin Pendas, pendas(at)bc.edu. Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Pendas with questions. Please submit your proposal by August 15, 2010.
