From keith at breckenridge.org.za Tue Apr 7 17:41:25 2015 From: keith at breckenridge.org.za (Keith Breckenridge) Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2015 17:41:25 +0200 Subject: [Sugarman] Social History after Thompson Message-ID: Dear colleagues, After much hard work from Stephen Sparks and Geoff Eley we have a proposal for the Michigan - Wits workshop that will take place between 11 and 18 November on EP Thompson and Social History at http://wiser.wits.ac.za/event/history-after-ep-thompson. The point of the workshop is to bring social historians, and those interested in social history, together from both sides of the Atlantic to consider a set of problems about historiography and historical analysis. Please review the call, and then let us know, using the on-line form that is available on the page above, whether you are interested in participating. If you know of people who should be included in this call (and who may not be on this list, or even at WIts or Michigan) please give their names and emails to Stephen Sparks (sjwsparks at uj.ac.za) and Sarah Duff (sarah.duff at wits.ac.za).
