Time: 14.03.2025
Venue: virtual space – via Neubiberg
Proposals by: 10.01.2025

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. The organisers especially want to hear from those with limited international networking experience. They 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. The organisers 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.
The organisers 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. Read more … (PDF).

The working language is English. Proposals should include a one-page summary CV and an abstract of 200-300 words, and should specify whether a 20-minute paper or 10-minute lightning talk is proposed. They should be sent to president@show.org.uk. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the organisers: Catherine Fletcher: catherine.fletcher@mmu.ac.uk, Samantha Nelson: samantha.nelson@stu.mmu.ac.uk or Isabelle Deflers: isabelle.deflers@unibw.de.
