CALL FOR PAPERS
1st Conference: International Society for
Regional History Conference
(Virtual Webinar, 21-22 September 2023)
The historical profession, and certainly so prior to its formal existence, has for many centuries engaged in the past in diverse ways. The 20th century
saw through many political, economic, and socio-cultural developments and changes globally which have also transformed ways in which historians
engage with the past. Focussing on trends, phenomena, and topics in a particular field of study became a more manageable way to ensure a deepened
form of research while considering its epistemological and historiographical roots in global and regional contexts. Though several studies on regions
were produced all over the world in many countries and continents during this century, the possibility of formally establishing the field of regional history
only gained momentum after 2015 when Time and Space was published (with Sulevi Riukulehto as editor), and in which the need was expressed to
establish regional history as a field "that actually should exist" (Ch 1). The Steering Committee of the ISRH has now formally practicalised this as a field
that deserves to have a space to scholarly robustly network in. All scholars having an interest are therefore cordially invited to participate in the first
ISRH conference of 21-22 September 2023 with as topic: Regions from a Historical Perspective. This call for papers encourages you to consider
participating, and send in your abstract before the due date.
Due date for abstract submissions: 28 February 2023
