[Bilimsel Haber] International Conference on the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Fourth International Conference on the History of Transport, Traffic and
Mobility

Papers may address any aspect of the social, cultural, economic, 
technological,
ecological and political history of transport, traffic and mobility. 
However, we
encourage the submission of proposals relating to the conference theme: 
History,
Safety and Sustainable Mobility.

Such a broad subject suggests the value of interdisciplinary approaches.
Relevant contributions from cultural geographers, sociologists, 
anthropologists,
economists, and other scholars who do not define themselves as 
historians are
therefore very welcome, as well as those from historians who are not 
specialists
in T2M. Participants are encouraged, though not required, to organize 
panels on
this or any other theme. A panel consists of a chair and normally up to 
three
speakers; no commentator is required. We encourage transnational, 
comparative
and transmodal approaches, and welcome proposals exploring theoretical or
methodological issues as well as those of a more empirical nature. We 
especially
invite recent entrants to the profession and doctoral students to submit
proposals.

This conference will be hosted by Centre d’Histoire Sociale du XXe 
siècle,
University Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, and the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et
Chaussées. The conference language is English and French, all the 
working panels
should be in English.The deadline for abstracts and a short cv (max. 1 page
each; Word or rich text format only) is 31 March 2006. Send proposals to:
submissions@t2m.org. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 30 April 
2006.
The full text of papers accepted must be submitted by 15 July 2006 if 
they are
to be included on the conference CD-ROM sent in advance to all 
participants and
if they are to be eligible for T2M Awards. All participants are absolutly
required to register before the 1st September, in order to secure the 
conference
programme.
