Annual Conference,  31 March-2 April 2006,

Reading University

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Society invites proposals for papers for its 2006 conference, moving 
for the
first time to an Easter date, and running concurrently with the Economic 
History
Society's annual conference, in the same location. Proposals are 
welcomed from a
wide range of backgrounds and disciplines, including scholars interested in
reflecting on policy and practice in cultural and social history. This could
include interdisciplinary offerings as well as those from backgrounds in
cultural studies, history of art and the visual arts, literary studies, 
law and
criminology, anthropology and the social sciences in general. Papers 
given at
the Conference can be considered for publication in Cultural and Social 
History,
the Society's Journal. Proposals from postgraduate students are particularly
welcomed. Submission of sessions or panels of three related papers (plus 
chair,
if wished) are encouraged, and especially those for panels which would 
signal
engagement between historians working on different historical periods, 
or panels
exploring links between history and other disciplines. Suggestions for
alternative forums of debate are also invited.

The six thematic strands, listed below, may be viewed in more detail by
following the hyperlink to their individual sections on the Society 
website. For
