Annual Conference
German History Society Annual Conference 2013
12-14 September 2013 at the Royal Holloway, University of London
The German History Society in the UK and Ireland, which publishes the journal German History, is inviting panel proposals for its fourth Annual Conference. The 2013 conference, generously supported by the German Historical Institute London, will be hosted by Royal Holloway, University of London (located in Egham, just west of central London). The Society invites historians of Germany from all parts of the world to submit panel proposals on what they regard as cutting-edge research topics in German history ranging from the Middle Ages to contemporary Germany. Panels will last for 90 minutes and should have three speakers and a chair. Papers should be no longer than 20 minutes.
Deadline for submission of proposals: 1 MARCH 2013. The Society’s Committee will select proposals and inform applicants by early May 2013.
Postgraduate students are explicitly encouraged to participate in panels or to submit their own panel proposals.
Please note that panelists will have to bear the costs of travel and accommodation themselves. Some bursaries will be available for postgraduate students; those presenting papers will receive preference for funding. Information on applying for postgraduate bursaries will be posted on the website with the conference programme in the spring. There will be a modest conference fee of £30 (waged) and £10 (unwaged) for delegates who are not members of the German History Society. The conference is free for members of the German History Society.
