Welcome to the Historical Social Science Workshop at Stanford!
We invite papers from across the social sciences that engage with historical subjects or rely on historical data, broadly defined. To foster a thriving intellectual environment, we offer two presentation formats tailored to different goals. Participants may either present a full paper for the entire hour or use half the workshop time to brainstorm an idea, dataset, or challenge in an ongoing project.
If you are interested in receiving the workshop announcements, please subscribe to our mailing list.
