SHOCS in short
At the Social History of Capitalism Seminars (SHOCS), we discuss new and groundbreaking work in the field of social and economic history. We welcome researchers from different disciplines and universities to create a forum for stimulating historical debate on the long history of capitalism, its effects and contestation. In these debates, we encourage discussion in a global perspective, and aim to complement and contrast our own interests with those of others. Researchers are invited to present their latest research and SHOC members and external participants offer feedback and ask questions. In doing so, we aim to broaden the range of expertise and input to include a multitude of complementary perspectives and voices.
The seminars take place on every first Monday of the month during the academic year, between August and December, and between February and July.
If you are interested to present or attend to one or more seminars, please send a mail to SHOC@vub.be.
