From the direction of the Rural History Monographs of the Society for Agrarian History Studies (SEHA), we are opening a call for proposals for the preparation of Monographs.

We encourage researchers interested in publishing in this collection to submit their proposals to the collection directors following the sections outlined in the "Submission of Originals" tab of Rural History Monographs-SEHA. 

This call for proposals will receive submissions until July 31, 2024, and proposals will be evaluated as they arrive. Once evaluated by the collection directors (Angelo Carrara and Adrián Palacios-Mateo), the original texts will be sent to two anonymous and independent reviewers, selected by the collection directors, in accordance with the Editorial Committee.

The recent Nobel Prize awarded to prof. Claudia Goldin highlights the importance of understanding the evolution and drivers of gender differences in our societies. The journal Investigaciones de Historia Económica – Economic History Research (IHE-EHR) is preparing a special issue to honour the work of prof. Goldin and present novel research on the causes and consequences of gender disparities.

Τhe Rivista di Storia Economica/Italian Review of Economic History is happy to share three open CFPs.

In celebration of Claudia Goldin's Nobel prize, the coeditors of the Journal of Economic History are delighted to announce that a virtual special issue of JEH featuring her work is now available on the JEH's website.  Claudia Goldin has made foundational contributions to the field of economic history, and has been an important contributor to JEH, both as author and as editor (1984-1988). The virtual special issue includes nine JEH papers authored or co-authored by Claudia Goldin, all of which will be freely available through the end of 2023.

We invite scholars to contribute to the special issue that will examine changes in female entrepreneurship over the twentieth century and the factors explaining these shifts. In the special issue, we define entrepreneurship deliberately broadly to capture the different manifestations of female entrepreneurship in the past. We define female entrepreneurs as women who were taking the risk and making business decisions on their own account to create new goods, services and ideas in the market under uncertainty, either as co-workers in family businesses, solo self-employed, employers, or innovators (Aston and Bishop 2020).

Fondazione Istituto Internazionale di Storia Economica “F. Datini” and the European School for Training in Economic and Social Historical Research (ESTER) will organise their seventh jointly-organized Datini-ESTER Advanced Seminar for economic and social historians on 12-18 May 2024, in Prato (Italy) on the theme of ‘Social and Geographical Mobility’.

The economic history of pre-modern risk and its management is undergoing a scholarly resurgence stimulated by active interdisciplinary engagement with legal, social, and cultural histories. The three concepts of 'risk', 'insolvency', and 'bankruptcy' are central to this topic, providing ample scope for contributions across medieval and early modern Europe and multiple opportunities for comparative links that encompass the Islamic world and the European colonial experiences.
The focus of this Datini Study Week is the interface between the normative aspect of risk, insolvency, and bankruptcy, and their practical implementation as investigated through analyses of daily practices and the tools and strategies of risk management. Particular attention will be paid to the regulation of financial transactions within states, across political borders, and at the intersection of different legal systems. The conceptual framework we propose is one that acknowledges the connection of insolvency and bankruptcy to both 'financial' and 'economic' risks, taking into consideration the analytical separation that exists between the two and how practical solutions for their management overlap.

The results of this call for research papers will be presented at Prato during the 56th Study Week (11-15 May, 2025)
