<p class="MsoNormal">Meidän huippuhuipparin tammikuun
workshoppiin kaivattaisiin erityisesti politiikan tutkijoiden
papereita ja panosta aiheista siirtolaisuus, valta, eliitit,
suuret imperiumit, identiteetti. Huipparin aikakausi sijoittuu
kauas, Mesopotamian aikoihin, mutta tämä ei tietenkään ole
vaatimus papereiden kohdalla. Huipparilaisia kiinnostaisi
juurikin teoria, metodologia, ajankohtaiset
tutkimuskysymykset. Huipparissa on sosiologeja, arkeologeja ja
kielitieteilijöitä. Dedis 3.6.2018.<o:p></o:p></p>

the first Persian Empire (550–330 BCE) is both frustratingly
immense and too restrictive, with extant evidence often not
directly answering the questions we wish to ask of it. For
social and cultural dynamics, very careful methodology is
necessary to tease out more sophisticated understandings.
However, it is no longer sufficient merely to mine existing
theory that appears to be adaptable; rather, ancient
historians need better integration in the broader social
scientific discourse. Therefore, the purpose of this
workshop is twofold:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

paper proposals for the workshop under the headings of
sociology, economics, and political science, each day
focuses on two general themes. For the sociology session we
invite papers exploring social networks and social
authority; for the economics session we invite papers on
taxation and forced labor and forced migration; for the
political science session we invite papers exploring
imperial administration and elite identity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

will begin with a keynote lecture with discussion, followed
by workshop of pre-circulated papers on the day’s themes,
followed by a response and wider thematic discussion. It is
our sincere hope that this format will enable as much
evidence-based discussion of the theoretical issues as
possible, as well as lay some groundwork for future
collaboration between historians and social scientists.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
