We are announcing an open position at WU Vienna, Institute for Economic and Social History - full-time, 40 hours/week, starting August 15, 2023, and ending after 6 years, application by April 12, 2023.

The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the institute's teaching and research agenda at the intersection between economic history, economics and other social sciences, with priority given to candidates with a research interest in historical perspectives on economic development/growth and/or international economics/political economy. S/he will work closely with other researchers at the Institute for Economic and Social History and is expected to produce high-quality research in the field.

The position consists of a unique double affiliation with the multidisciplinary Centre for European Research at the University of Gothenburg (CERGU) combined with employment and office located at a relevant department (henceforth referred to as a home department) within one of the three faculties: the Faculty of Humanities, the Faculty of Social Sciences and the School of Business, Economics and Law.

Έχουν περάσει δεκαοκτώ χρόνια από τη διεξαγωγή του διεθνούς συνεδρίου στη Σαμοθράκη με θέμα τον δοσιλογισμό, καρπός του οποίου υπήρξε η έκδοση του τόμου «Εχθρός εντός των τειχών»: Όψεις του Δωσιλογισμού στην Ελλάδα της Κατοχής. Είναι αυτονόητο ότι το ζήτημα της συνεργασίας με τον κατακτητή στα κατεχόμενα εδάφη κατά τη διάρκεια του Β΄ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου δεν έχει χάσει την ερευνητική δυναμική του και νέες μελέτες έχουν προστεθεί έκτοτε τόσο στην ελληνική όσο και στη διεθνή ιστοριογραφία. Με τα φώτα του ενδιαφέροντος να πέφτουν περισσότερο στον ένοπλο δοσιλογισμό, κάτι που άλλωστε είχε προτάξει και ο νομοθέτης για την εκδίκαση και την τιμωρία αυτών των νέων εθνικών εγκλημάτων από ειδικά δικαστήρια, άλλες πτυχές αυτού του πολυσύνθετου φαινομένου δεν έχουν τύχει έως τώρα της δέουσας προσοχής.

Με βάση το παραπάνω σκεπτικό διοργανώνεται συνέδριο το οποίο επιδιώκει να εστιάσει στον διοικητικό μηχανισμό που λειτούργησε υπό συνθήκες ξένης κατοχής. Στόχος του είναι να εξετάσει την πολυεπίπεδη δημόσια διοίκηση (ανώτερη και κατώτερη δημοσιοϋπαλληλία, αστυνομικές υπηρεσίες/χωροφυλακή, δικαστικές αρχές, εκπαίδευση, Εκκλησία, δήμοι, κοινότητες, νομαρχίες, φορείς και θεσμοί του δημοσίου κ.λπ.) μέσα από το πρίσμα της συνεργασίας με τους κατακτητές στο πλαίσιο αφενός της ενάσκησης των καθηκόντων των στελεχών της διοίκησης και αφετέρου ως κρατικών λειτουργών δοσιλογικών κυβερνήσεων. 

The Department of Balkan Slavic and Oriental Studies (University of Macedonia), the Faculty of History and Geography (Ștefan cel Mare University of Suceava), and the Balkan History Association are organizing an international conference on 22-24 November in Thessaloniki, Greece about Greek-Romanian relations from the decline of the Ottoman Empire to the end of the Cold War era (1821-1989). The conference is addressed to all academics, including young scholars, dealing with a topic related to the political, economic, cultural, and social relations of the two countries in the 19th and 20th centuries. Researchers may submit proposals on any relevant topic about the two countries during this period.

The Department of Economy and Society at the School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg announces 3 positions as PhD student located at Unit for Economic History. The department conducts education and research within three different subject areas: Economic History; Human Geography; and Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management of Intellectual Asset. The different subjects within the department create possibilities to carry out interdisciplinary education and research.

Recent research not only argues that female infanticide and the mortal neglect of female infants was more common in Modern Greece than previously acknowledged, but also that Greek parents continued to treat boys and girls differently throughout childhood (in terms of food and care). These discriminatory practices, arising from a strong son preference and girls’ inferior status, therefore unduly increased female mortality rates early in life and resulted in a significant number of “missing girls” during the 19th century and the fist decades of the 20th century.

The novelty of this argument, together with the problems that Greek historical sources pose, requires further research on these issues, so this conference invites proposals studying discriminatory practices against girls and women in general in Modern Greece. We encourage interdisciplinary discussion, so contributions from a wide range of disciplines (historians, ethnographers, demographers, economists, sociologists, etc.) using both qualitative and quantitative materials are welcome. Given the importance of child abandonment in the past, studies exploring whether sex was an important dimension in the decision to get rid of unwanted babies are also especially valuable.
