Social Science History Association

Interdisciplinary perspectives on the past

The 2024 SSHA Call for Papers

50th Annual Meeting of the Social Science History Association

2024 SSHA Call for Papers

Trust and Distrust of Historical Sources in the Digital Age

The 2024 SSHA Conference will be held at the Westin Harbour Castle
Toronto, ON, Canada

The Social Science History Association is an interdisciplinary organization that publishes a journal, Social Science History, organizes an annual conference, supports graduate student travel to the conference, and awards book and article prizes.

With scholars from history, economics, sociology, demography, anthropology, and other social sciences, the association brings together scholars in thematic networks where they can explore common questions.

Each network organizes its own call for papers and selects the bulk of the papers to be presented at the annual conference. This open, flexible, and non-hierarchical structure makes these networks particularly welcoming spaces for younger scholars and invigorating tonic for more seasoned academics.
