Next Workshop announced: INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES IN THE STUDY OF HISTORY (10 May 2013, Teesside Uni)



We are pleased to invite speakers for the second History Lab North East Workshop which is to be held at Teesside University on Friday 10 May. Participants are asked to submit an abstract which will form the basis of a 10-15 minute paper on the use of interdisciplinary approaches within the study of history.

As with the first workshop, papers should give a brief outline of their work and the use of interdisciplinary approaches within their research. Subjects could include but are not limited to the use of oral testimony, social science methodologies, sociological approaches to history and literature as a historical source. The emphasis in the discussion will be on these approaches, their usefulness (or lack of) within the context of historical research, and how the study of history can be part of a wider research community.

Those interested in giving a presentation please send a 100-200 word abstract via email to historylab.northeast@gmail.com with ‘Interdisciplinary Approaches’ as the subject by 19 April 2013.
