Submission Deadline: March 3, 2017

The SSHA is the leading interdisciplinary association for historical research in the US; its members share a common concern for interdisciplinary approaches to historical problems. The organization's long-standing interest in methodology makes SSHA meetings exciting places to explore new solutions to historical problems. We welcome graduate students and recent PhDs as well as more-established scholars, from a wide range of disciplines and departments.

We invite you to submit panels and  papers related to migration/immigration and mobility for the forthcoming SSHA conference on “Changing Social Connections in Time and Space.”  We encourage submissions on all aspects of social science history. Submission of complete sessions and interdisciplinary panels are especially welcome.

The Migration Network is one of the largest and most active networks at the SSHA. This year’s theme, focusing on changing social connections across time and space, offers especially rich opportunities for migration scholars.

We are seeking submissions that address the topics below. Related subjects and new ideas are also welcome:

  • Refugees in the Past and Present
  • Populism, Nativism and Migration in North America and Europe
  • Digital History and Migration
  • Migration in Public History/Public Engagement
  • Teaching Migration in the Contemporary World
