FREE FOR REPOST SORRY FOR CROSSPOSTING Dear Colleagues, Please consider contributing to Macrohistorical Dynamics panels that will be included within the 27th Meeting of the Social Science History Association. The general theme of next year's conference is: "International Perspectives on Social Science History: Thinking Globally, Researching Locally, Working Cooperatively" (October 24-27, 2002, at the Royal Riverfront Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri; see general CFP and participation rules below). Macrohistorical Dynamics (MHD) is a research field that focuses on problems of large-scale historical research and explanation. Topic areas include world, macro-, and theoretical history; macro- and historical sociology; world-system analysis; comparative study of civilizations; social evolutionism; geopolitics; and studies of long-term socio-ecological, technological, demographic, cultural, political trends and transformations. This year the Macrohistorical Dynamics network plans to organize at least three panels. The deadline for paper and/or panel submissions is February 15, 2002. Submissions are expected to be made by the Internet by means of Web applications. Paper title, brief abstract, and contact information should be submitted on the site http://www.ssha.org/ssha2002/subpaper.html SSHA has set up a mechanism for networks to share papers between two networks, so even if you have a solo paper, send the idea along. It is possible and useful to mark a paper not only by the MHD network, but also by some other co-sponsoring networks (for example, Theory/Methods, Historical Geography, Politics, Culture, Economics). Co-sponsored papers are encouraged by the SSHA Program committee. We suggest several preliminary areas of focus for panels for soft orientation in Macrohistorical Dynamics. Comparative Social Structures and Macrohistory Varieties and Universalities of Mass Organized Violence Role of Social Networks in Historical Dynamics Agency, Structure and Variables in Macro-Micro Continuum Does Technology Drive History? Destiny of the Covering Laws Project: Are There Working Macrosociological Theories? Geopolitics, Geoeconomics, and Geoculture: Bridging Paradigms Social Evolution and Systemic Transformations in World History The list of MHD panel themes is open. Please use the SSHA submission site (find the address above) and feel free to contact us for further clarification.

The SSHA is the leading interdisciplinary association for historical research in the U.S. and its members share a common concern for interdisciplinary approaches to historical problems. The organization's long-standing interest in methodology also makes SSHA meetings exciting places to explore new solutions to historical problems. We encourage the participation of graduate students and recent Ph.D.s, as well as more established scholars, from a wide range of disciplines and departments. The 2002 meeting will include a number of reflective presidential and thematic sessions related to "International Perspectives on Social Science History." We encourage submissions that explore this topic, as it shapes (and reshapes) historical thinking, research, and scholarly projects. We also welcome the usual broad range of sessions proposed by participants and networks. As in the past, panel proposals will be handled electronically. If you wish to submit a paper, panel or poster for the 2002 SSHA conference, do so here. The submission deadline is February 15, 2002. Since we have a system of rolling acceptances, it is wise to submit panels early. We prefer submissions of complete sessions. Typically these include three or four research papers or roundtable participants, a chair, and one or two discussants. You may propose an individual paper, but it is somewhat less likely to be accepted than a complete panel. You also may submit research to be presented in a poster session. Because we are unlikely to exceed our capacity for poster presentations, such submissions are likely to face less competition. Finally, we often need volunteers to serve as discussants or session chairs. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please indicate your areas of expertise in our discusssant/chair pool on the web site. The SSHA program is developed through networks of people interested in particular topics. If you wish to organize a session, we recommend that you contact a network representative first. Network representatives screen all papers and panels in their areas. As the interests of SSHA members shift, networks change. Current networks, with their representatives' e-mail and web addresses, will be listed on the SSHA website after the 2001 meeting in mid-November. If you are not certain into which network your paper proposal best fits, ask the representatives of the networks closest to your interests. Contributors should take note of the following SSHA rules and traditions: a. Session participants should represent more than one discipline or institution. b. Panels that include material from more than one place or time are particularly welcome. c. To maximize the number of participants, individuals may present no more than one paper and participate in no more than two sessions. d. Panels co-sponsored by two or more networks are encouraged. e. Preference is given to complete panel proposals of those that can be completed by the proposal deadline. Also, please remember that all panel submissions must include complete information on participants, including their affiliations, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. Notification of acceptance or rejection of proposals will occur by April 15, 2002. At that time, all accepted participants for the 2002 SSHA will be required to pre-register for the conference. Acceptance of panels will thus be conditional. No panel will appear in the preliminary or final program until all of its participants have registered. Participants also normally join the SSHA. For more information, contact the 2002 Program Committee Co-Chairs, George Alter and Ellen Dwyer at Indiana University-Bloomington. ****************************************************** Nikolai S.
