Business History Beyond Boundaries: Fourth International Summer School (3-5 July 2024, Glasgow, Scotland).
The Centre for Business History in Scotland at the University of Glasgow, together with the University of Tübingen’s Institute for Modern History once again provides funding for an intensive three-day event aimed at PhD students, early-career researchers and practitioners undertaking archival based research in business history or economichistory working on any topic that addresses issues and questions related to the period 1850-2000 (For more details, see “Further Notes for Applicants” below). Students will be hosted on Glasgow University’s historic main campus and will present, debate and discuss their worksin-progress and take a selection of masterclasses together with leading international scholars in the discipline.
The school aims to provide doctoral students with an overview of relevant research and innovative tools and methodologies in the fields of business and economic history. It is the fourth event in this series, which began in 2017 and is organised jointly by Daniel Menning of the Seminar für Neuere Geschichte (University of Tübingen) and Christopher Miller of the Centre for Business History in Scotland (University of Glasgow).
The school will take the form of presentations from students (c.25 minutes) and workshops hosted by established experts in the field.
Students will benefit from the experience of academics and archivists from Glasgow, Tübingen and beyond. We will be confirming additional speakers in the coming weeks and months.
Funding will cover flights and/or trains (up to an agreed limit, to be reimbursed after the school), accommodation, lunches, and the conference meal for up to twelve students. There may also be limited space for applicants who wish to self-fund or who have received funding from their own institution.
