As a part of the 16th Swedish Economic History Meeting, the Unit for Economic History at Umeå University is offering to hold separate sessions for doctoral students. In these sessions the doctoral students can present papers and get feedback from senior researchers here at the Unit for Economic History. Separate sessions for doctoral students have been an appreciated feature of previous Economic History Meetings. They provide an opportunity for doctoral students to present their research in a new context and get inspiration and input that can help them move forward in a friendly environment. The papers should be between 10 – 30 pages long. They can be written in Swedish or in English. The texts can be drafts of chapters or articles. They do not have to be finished.

To doctoral students who want to participate or have any questions, please email Mattias Näsman and Hedvig Widmalm: Mattias.nasman@umu.se and Hedvig.widmalm@umu.se.

The deadline for signing up for the doctoral sessions is the same as for other conference contributions, 16 May 2025. 

Please write at what stage of your doctoral education you are (year), what type of paper you are thinking about presenting and how the text is intended to be used in your dissertation.

Full papers are to be sent one month prior to the conference, 10 September 2025.
