Call for Papers

“Student Perspectives on Urban History”
Round-table at the 12th International Conference on Urban History
‘Cities in Europe, Cities in the World’
Lisbon, September 3-6, 2014


The student round-table was first held at the previous conference of the EAUH
(European
Association for Urban History, http://www.eauh.eu/) in Prague, 2012. It targets
students who
are currently writing their M.A. theses and recent graduates who are about to
start or have
just begun their PhD programmes, as well as senior academics.
The session will provide insight into these two groups’ perspectives on urban
history,
allowing an exchange of ideas and experiences between beginning and more
advanced
urban historians. Students will have the chance to present their
work-in-progress and receive
feedback, while accomplished academics will have the opportunity to gain
additional insight
into recent trends in graduate-level urban history research in various
countries.
In accordance with the conference theme, preference will be given to papers or
discussion
statements that stress international and interdisciplinary approaches.
Contributions to the
round-table usually draw on a specific case study such as a thesis or research
project, but
focus on discussing wider methodological aspects, for example:

• What is the value of urban history in a global urban world?
• What methods and approaches are most fruitful for doing urban historical
research?
• What are the pitfalls of being (or becoming) an urban historian today?
The round-table will be co-organized by the EAUH and the International Students
of
History Association (http://www.isha-international.org/). Founded in 1990, ISHA
is an
academic, non-profit organization of students of history and related sciences
with members
in more than twenty-five European countries. ISHA encourages international and
interdisciplinary cooperation and also aims at expanding the dialogue between
students and
the rest of the scientific community.

Abstracts (deadline: October 15, 2013) need to be submitted online:
