A research position is now open within the GLOW project (GeneaLogies of Old Wealth), which examines long-term patterns of wealth, family and inheritance through historical genealogies and quantitative data. The position offers the opportunity to join an active research environment, contribute to the development of GLOW, and develop your own research profile within the broader themes of household economy, inheritance, wealth and inequality.

The International Economic History Association (IEHA) has opened the first Call for Sessions for the 2028 World Congress. The theme of the Congress is World Powers and Conflicts, but submissions are welcome on the economic and social histories of all places and periods. We especially encourage sessions that adopt a comparative perspective across countries or regions.

The Department of Economic History at LSE would be pleased to support suitable applications for the The British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship and The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships.

The project "Money(-)making Empire" examines monetary evolution in the Baltic Sea region within the broader context of early modern Northern Europe, using the Swedish Empire as a case study. Conceptualizing the empire as a polycentric polity, the project challenges nation-state–centred historiography and instead analyses money as a transregional lens through which flows of power, conflict, and integration can be traced across imperial spaces. Monetary policy was central to both warfare and empire-building and its effects extended far beyond Sweden proper, influencing peasants, soldiers, merchants, urban authorities, and foreign rulers across the Baltic Sea Region.

The Journal of European Economic History (JEEH) has recently published Issue 2 (2026). All articles and book reviews are available in open access.
