Call for Papers: LSE-Sciences Po Seminar in Contemporary International History

Are you a faculty member or a PhD student in international contemporary history? If yes, do not miss this amazing academic seminar organized by the London School of Economics in collaboration with Sciences Po.

The Seminar

The seminar is an ideal environment to share works-in-progress, such as PhD chapters, journal articles, or sections of monographs and books by providing a forum for the discussion of new research by PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members from across the world. All seminars will be held in-person as hybrid sessions when possible, but otherwise will take place on Zoom on Wednesdays, 4-6pm in London, and on Wednesdays, 5-7pm in Paris, between October and December 2021. Two seminars during this term will be joint LSESciences Po sessions on Zoom. Presenters will be asked to submit a 15-20 page paper ten days before their presentation, to be circulated to participants beforehand. Presentations will be 20-30 minutes and are followed by a Q&A discussion.
