We are pleased to announce that the 3rd Meeting of the Scandinavian Society for Economic and Social History will be in collaboration with the 8th Annual Meeting of the Danish Society for Economic and Social History. The conference will be hosted at the Department of Business and Economics at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense on 26-27 October 2022.
We are honored to have as keynote speaker Prof. Kevin Hjortshøj O’Rourke from New York University – Abu Dhabi, (CEPR, NBER).
Prof. O’Rourke’s research lies at the intersection of economic history and international economics. He has published extensively on the history of globalization and deglobalization: his books include the prize-winning Globalization and History (co-authored with Jeffrey Williamson), and Power and Plenty: Trade, War and the World Economy in the Second Millennium (co-authored with Ronald Findlay). He was awarded an ERC Advanced Investigator in 2009 to study interwar trade and trade policy. His most recent book is Une Histoire Brève du Brexit (Odile Jacob, 2018), published in English as A Short History of Brexit: From Brentry to Backstop (Penguin, 2019).
The conference fee will be 650 DKK (350 DKK for graduate students), and you will need to be a member of one of the Nordic societies to participate. Membership of the Danish Society for Economic and Social History costs 150 DKK. Participants are expected to cover their expenses.
