The University of Oxford programme for Economic and Social History and Nuffield College, Oxford, are inviting applications to present papers in the 2022-2023 round of the Graduate Seminar in Economic and Social History.

The seminar series provides a forum for graduate students to receive helpful advice and feedback on their research work in progress. We welcome qualitative and quantitative research alike on any aspect of economic and social history and encourage students from all disciplines related to economic and social history to apply.

The Graduate Seminar in Economic and Social History is well attended by faculty and graduate students from History, Economic History, and related disciplines. Each session consists of a 30-minute presentation by the guest speaker followed by 30 minutes of discussion and questions from the audience.

The seminar will take place weekly during term time (see dates below) on Wednesdays, from 1 to 2pm. We are going to run the seminars in a hybrid format – inviting speakers to attend in-person seminars at Nuffield College, Oxford, but also providing the option for speakers and audience members to attend online. We hope this will enable the involvement of a diverse range of scholarly contributions.

Interested graduate students can apply by sending an abstract of their project (max. 500 words, in English) and their CV to eshoxford2022@gmail.com by 5 PM BST on 5 September 2022. Please indicate your preferred dates of presentation in the email. Successful applicants for Michaelmas Term will hear back from us by mid-September 2022; successful applicants for Hilary Term will hear back from us by mid-October 2022; and successful applicants for Trinity Term will be informed by 5 December 2022 at the very latest.
