TGHS invites abstracts for autumn 2023 from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and early career scholars.

While we will consider submissions from any time period on any topic that engages with transnational and global history in general, we are particularly interested in work that focuses on the following:

• Transnational histories of science, medicine, and technology, especially where they intersect with themes of colonialism and empire.

• Global histories of warfare and insurgencies, with reference to migration and mobility (including displacement and captivity).

• Multi-nodal or transcontinental histories of activism, resistance and solidarity, focusing on students' and workers' movements, intellectual histories and multi-generational struggles.

• Methodological deliberations on new approaches to global and/or transnational histories.

Submissions should be sent as a Word document to the TGHS committee (speakers@oxfordtghs.com) by September 22, 2023. To be considered, it must contain the following:

(1) An abstract of no more than 300 words and a title (even if provisional). The abstract must be clear on the intellectual contribution of the proposed paper, the scope of the research (time period, geographical focus) and the key themes that will be addressed. The abstract must contain a sentence on method(s) and sources.

(2) A short bio of no more than 100 words outlining the submitter's institutional affiliations and academic background.

(3) A confirmation about whether, if accepted, the paper will be presented online or you will travel to present in-person at the University of Oxford.

Decisions will be communicated by the first week of October. Accepted submissions will be invited to give a 30-minute presentation, either alone or as part of a panel organised around a particular theme or topic.
