THINKING ABOUT THE PAST, THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE: CALL FOR PAPERS

13-15 July 2016 at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK

We are looking for papers which will provide insights into the development of voluntary action history in the past 25 years and address the challenges it faces in the future.

We are looking for papers which

• - approach voluntary action history from local, national, international and transnational perspectives
• - explore subjects in a range of time periods
• - make use of a variety of methodologies
• - are accessible to a broad audience of practitioners, activists, amateurs and academics

 

and which deal with subjects such as:

- archival research: issues of preservation and access

- bad behaviour and the dark side

- expressive behaviours

- leisure

- the moving frontier between state and voluntary action

- organisational development and management

- philanthropy, mutual aid and self-help

- social justice and social change

- teaching voluntary action history 

If you would like to propose a paper, please submit an abstract of around 300 words and a brief biography by e-mail to meta@practicalwisdomr2z.co.uk no later than 31 December 2015.

Booking will open once the programme is finalised. Please note that all speakers must register for the conference.
