New Directions in the History of Twentieth-Century Global Political Economy

University of Oxford, September 26-27, 2024

This event seeks to bring together scholars for a two-day conference at Wadham College, Oxford. The goal is to investigate political economy from a historical perspective. The specific focus will be on examining the ways in which capitalism has been contested, debated, governed, and restructured during moments of crisis, as well as how it continues to determine relations between states, businesses, individuals, and civil society. This discussion will build on the recent Roundtable on Capitalism and Global Governance, published in the Business History Review, as the starting point for an even broader conversation about the state of current research and new directions in the field.

Into the Darkness: 1st Annual Pan-European Studies Graduate Conference at the University of Virginia

April 1-3, 2016

Graduate students from the departments of German, Slavic Languages, Spanish, Italian & Portuguese, French, History, and Music at the University of Virginia have come together to organize the first Pan-European Studies Graduate Conference with a truly interdisciplinary exploration of the topic “Darkness” in European Studies. This inaugural Pan-European Studies conference will launch a forum for the exchange of ideas and the professional development of graduate students.

The conference will allow graduate students to practice the art of writing, presenting, and defending conference papers. However, the conference will be opened up to the wider graduate student community in the form of a “Dissertation Speed-Dating” workshop. Graduate students at the university will be invited to attend our workshop at which they will have the chance to practice their “elevator speech” and present it to a fellow student outside of their discipline.
