Portuguese Association of Economic and Social History – Summer School

3rd Summer School in Economic and Social History

Ponte de Sor, Portugal, 26-28 June 2024

Following the success of the previous editions – 2019 in Vila Viçosa and 2022 in Ançã – we are pleased to announce the Third Summer School in Economic and Social History, hosted by the Portuguese Association of Economic and Social History in Ponte de Sor, Portugal. This Summer School offers comprehensive courses on research methods and central themes in Economic and Social History, as well as a framework for paper presentations by PhD students who are starting their dissertation and already have a chapter or essay for discussion, and postdoctoral researchers with more advanced work, possibly in the pipeline for publication. We aim to bring together researchers with different levels of experience. The Summer School offers lectures by distinguished scholars in the morning sessions and presentations by researchers in the afternoon. All topics in Economic and Social History of any geographical and chronological scope are welcome.

Keynote Speaker: Phillipp Roessner (Manchester University)
