Waterloo to Desert Storm: New Thinking on International Conflict, 1815-1991

This is a two day conference for postgraduates and early-career historians working on the history of conflict, broadly defined, to be held at the Scottish Centre for War Studies at the University of Glasgow.

Conflicts continue to play a significant role in international affairs and the study of their history offers unique insight into the problems facing the contemporary world. This conference provides an opportunity for postgraduates/early-career academics undertaking research into the history of conflict, to present their work to a wider audience, thus highlighting the range of innovative studies currently in progress across the UK.

The conference will include a workshop session on using archives to research the history of conflict and a keynote lecture by Professor Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of the History of War, University of Oxford.

Proposals (c.300 words) for papers of 20 minutes should be submitted to Ms Ulrike Thieme at u.thieme.1@research.gla.ac.uk by Thursday 15th April 2010. There are no registration costs, and accommodation can be arranged by the organisers. There may be limited funds available to refund travel costs, but delegates are encouraged to apply to their host institutions for assistance. We welcome contact from anyone who wishes to attend the conference.

More information relating to the event, including registration forms, will be available via the weblink in the near future.
