Martin J. Goessl Discussion

Call for Papers by the Women, Gender and Sexuality Network of the SSHA


46th Annual Meeting of the Social Science History Association Washington, DC, November 19-22 2020 Submission Deadline: February 16, 2020


“Politics, Society, and the Economy: the Past and Today”


The 2020 Program Committee and the Women, Gender and Sexuality Network seek individual papers and panel proposals on all aspects but especially on Women, Gender and Sexuality topics of social science history. We are especially interested in research that makes imaginative use of historical data and tools from the social sciences to analyze how politics, society, and the economy interact over time. In particular, we seek papers that address these questions:


• How has politics influenced social and economic outcomes both in the past and today?
• How has it affected income and wealth disparities, and vice versa?
• How has it altered the meaning of gender, race, sexuality or ethnicity, and vice
versa?
• How have migrations, social divisions, and demographic change informed politics?
• What factors determine political outcomes, from policies to power, in democracies and
autocracies, in the past and the present?
• What roles do ideas, culture, religion, and social divisions play in politics?
• How are politics, society, and the economy shaped by history and institutions and how
can we use novel sources and tools from the social sciences to pin down the relationships?


SSHA 2020 will be held at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, only steps from the U.S. Capitol and a short walk from the Smithsonian Museums.


How do I apply for a Graduate Student Travel Grant to help pay the cost?
Starting in December 2019, information about SSHA Student Travel Grants will be available at http://ssha.org. Notification of travel awards will accompany paper acceptances.
