Economic and Social History Graduate Seminar

The Graduate Seminar in Economic and Social History provides a forum for graduate students to share their research work in progress. It welcomes qualitative and quantitative research alike on any aspect of economic and social history. The seminar series is well attended by faculty and graduate students from History, Economic History, and related disciplines. Each session consists of a 30-minute presentation by the guest speaker followed by 30 minutes of discussion and questions from the audience.

All talks will take place on Wednesdays, from 12:45 to 14:00, in the Butler Room, Nuffield College, unless otherwise stated. We are going to run the seminars in an in-person format, barring exceptional circumstances.
