The CFP deadline for the 2025 meeting of the Economic History Association in Philadelphia, 5-7 September is 31 January! Get your proposals in soon! Here’s the link: eh.net/eha-meeting-...

The UCD Centre for War Studies and the Helsinki Collegium of Advanced Studies are pleased to co-host a one-day symposium to take place in Helsinki on Friday, 19 September 2025. The symposium will focus on the (comparative) history of „post-civil-war societies“, bringing together panels on themes such as “cultural demobilisation”, “memory”, “transitional justice” and “exile”. The main geographical and chronological focus will be on those European societies that experienced episodes of civil war between the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the end of the Greek Civil War in 1949 but we also welcome proposals from those working on non-European civil wars, such as the ones that occurred in Mexico and China. Particularly welcome will be proposals for papers that open up new comparative and / or transnational perspectives on the history of civil wars.

🗓️🚨 Call for Papers: Symposium on Post-Civil-War Societies. Join the CivilWars team at @helsinkiuni.bsky.social in September 2025 for our next event. The symposium will focus on the (comparative) history of "post-civil-war societies". Deadline 10 March. Details: civil-wars.eu/workshops/ #civilwars

I’ll send an email to find an excuse! I’ve got an idea or two.

All good here! Want to visit soon?

Congratulations!!!

Just a reminder, the Economic History Association call for papers deadline is January 31. Find out more here: eh.net/eha-meeting-...

I was fortunate to be given a grant by the Rector of the University of Helsinki to build a proof of concept database for a major effort to quantify smuggling in the early modern world. But I want to give my biggest thanks to my colleagues at GU who have been enormously supportive! Thank you!

one of the best in the entire world. I am returning to Helsinki to work within an ERC-funded Advanced Grant called WORK-IT which intends to develop a theoretical framework to understand informal taxation in the ancient world - a steep transition for me most certainly, but exciting. Simultaneously…

Today is officially my last day at the University of Gothenburg as a postdoc in Economic History. Tomorrow, with the new year, I return to the University of Helsinki as a university researcher. I did not make this move lightly. I think the Econ history unit at GU is the best in Sweden and…
