Call for Papers: New Research in the History of War and the Military A networking event for early career historians hosted by the Arbeitskreis Militärgeschichte and the Society for the History of War Friday 14 March 2025, online | 1300-1700 GMT / 1400-1800 CET Working language: English Deadline for proposals: Friday 10 January 2025, 1700 GMT / 1800 CET This online workshop is an opportunity for early career historians of war and the military to share and discuss ideas and approaches from their current projects. The aim is to support current and recent PhDs in this field to make international links, with a view to expanding their future opportunities for collaboration and mobility. We especially want to hear from those with limited international networking experience. We invite applications from researchers at all stages of PhD and postdoctoral projects. Applicants are free to choose from one of the following formats, as appropriate to the material presented. We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers or 10-minute lightning talks that illustrate new questions, methods, or approaches in this field. Lightning talks will generally focus on a single historical source or historiographical/methodological question. We understand the terms ‘war’ and ‘military’ in their broadest senses and will prioritise contributions that can demonstrate their interest to the field beyond a specific place/period of history. Suitable themes might include (but are not restricted to): logistics, technologies, soldiers’ experiences, gender and sexuality, imperial and colonial contexts, military institutions, pre- and post-conflict environments. Historiographical and methodological proposals are also welcome.

Pleased to announce an online workshop for early career researchers on the History of War and the Military, 14 March 2025, a joint event of the Society for the History of War and our German counterpart the AKM. CFP deadline 10 Jan.

Not an exhaustive list, but we're all likely exhausted.

Welcome! So glad to see you here. Looking forward to seeing you at ISM in February too!
