Symposium on Quantitative History
---------------------------------------------------------
Virtually all historians process or at least encounter numerical data in the
form of tables and time series. The use of actual statistical methods, such as
regression analysis, is relatively rare – perhaps with the exception of
economic and social history. Quantitative methods are however attracting a
growing amount of attention among historians, thanks to improved software and to
the rise of digital humanities. Quantitative history is becoming increasingly
common and it is more and more often carried out as part of multidisciplinary
research projects.


This one-day symposium puts quantitative history in the spotlight. What kinds of
topics does it cover, what kinds of data does it utilize, and what kinds of
specific methods does it apply? If your methodological tool kit includes
quantitative methods, do join us at the symposium to introduce your work!
Projects in various phases of the research process and researchers in all stages
of their career are welcome.


The symposium will be held in Helsinki on 2 December, from 9 am to 5 pm (the
exact time and place TBA). If necessary, speakers will have the opportunity to
present through Skype. The symposium will be held in conjunction with the
”Philosophy and History of Open Science” Conference at the University of
Helsinki (30 November – 1 December 2016).


Prospective speakers should send a one‐page abstract and a short CV to Maiju
Wuokko maiju.wuokko(at)helsinki.fi by 9 October 2016. For more information,
contact Maiju Wuokko and/or Mirkka Danielsbacka
(mirkka.danielsbacka(at)helsinki.fi).
