Bursaries for PhD and Early Career Academics

A major international conference, with plenary speakers and large parallel sessions, exploring where the study of history is heading and what it means to be an historian in the twenty-first century. Keynote speakers will include Mark Mazower (Columbia), Catherine Hall (UCL), Gareth Stedman Jones (Queen Mary), Chris Wickham (Oxford), Maxine Berg (Warwick), Rana Mitter (Oxford) and Geoff Eley (Michigan). The conference is organised by Birkbeck, University of London, where Eric Hobsbawm taught most of his life, and by Past & Present, which he co-founded. It will be held with the support and assistance of the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, and the Birkbeck Institute of the Humanities.

Thanks to the generosity of the School of Social Sciences, History and Philosophy, Birkbeck, we are pleased to be able to offer a further thirty PhD and early career bursaries as reductions to the conference fee. These will be available via the conference registration website from 21 March 2014 on a first-come-first-served basis to current postgraduate students and early career academics (within three years of their doctorate).
