Women’s Committee
The Committee exists primarily to promote women’s careers in economic and social history. It also encourages the pursuit of women’s history and feminist approaches to economic and social history. Currently, the Committee usually runs an annual workshop, a training day, a networking event and a dedicated session at the Annual Conference of the Economic History Society. Details can usually be found on the Society’s Events page or you can email the Chair, Dr Emily Buchnea.
If you would like to join the Women’s Committee mailing list, please contact the Chair.
If you are already a member of the mailing list and are not receiving emails, please contact Dr Buchnea. This may be because your email address has changed and needs to be updated.
