As part of CEPH’s research strand, the Centre is delighted to be working alongside the WEAST Initiative to present this upcoming Call for Papers for their 2024 Dublin Workshop from December 13-14, 2024. This will be hosted in Trinity College Dublin, and details of the call can be found below.
WEAST is a initiative within European Historical Economics Society that gathers scholars of Eastern Europe to annual member-organised workshops. This workshop has been organised by CEPH Postdoctoral Research Fellow Julia Zimmerman, alongside CEPH director Marvin Suesse and CEPH Associate Vitaliia Yaremko, as well as Mikolaj Malinowski (WEAST and University of Groningen) and Stefan Nikolić (WEAST and University of Loughborough).
WEAST 2024 Dublin Workshop
December 13-14, 2024
Hidden Connections: Eastern Europe through a Comparative Lens
The economic history of Eastern Europe is sometimes written as that of an isolated, peripheral region. In this workshop, we want to emphasise the historical connections between Eastern and Western Europe, as well as to other regions of the world. By reassessing the transnational circulation of people, goods, ideas, techniques, diseases, institutions and other factors, this workshop aims to highlight innovative work that uses new archival data, advanced microdata, or techniques of causal analysis to offer a truly integrated East-West perspective. We also celebrate research that integrates insights and research techniques from multiple disciplines to redefine our understanding of Europe’s complex shared economic, industrial, ideological, and political past.
This workshop is specifically designed to engage faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and advanced PhD candidates who are deeply involved in the study of economic history, historical political economy, and geography. Our call for papers welcomes work on all countries, historical periods, and methodologies, as long as it retains a significant focus on Central or Eastern Europe.
