Call for Papers: Charity Begins at Home

27 March 2010, University of Warwick

This workshop is aimed at postgrads (MA and PhD) and early career researchers with an interest in the historical relationship between voluntary/ charitable work and the home. We welcome submissions from all periods and countries to facilitate a comparative roundtable discussion in the second part of the day. We would encourage papers that consider the particular challenges speakers have encountered while investigating a particular area in the relationship between voluntarism and the home. The event aims to address methodological, thematic and evidential issues, rather than the substantive findings that result from this process. Speakers are therefore encouraged to reflect upon the particular challenges they have encountered in their research. We hope these papers will provide the basis for a lively and constructive debate in the the roundtable element of the workshop.

Abstracts of up to 300 words should be submitted to workshop@vahs.org.uk before 10 February 2010. Please see the attached call for papers for further details. If you would like more information, or have any comments or queries, please contact Stephen Soanes at S.Soanes@warwick.ac.uk
