4th Yale–UB Historical Political Economy Workshop

Faculty from Yale University and the University of Barcelona are organizing the fourth edition of the Yale-UB Historical Political Economy Workshop. The workshop brings together senior and junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and advanced PhD students working in Comparative Politics, International Relations, Political Economy, and Economic History, with an emphasis on HPE.

The organizers welcome submissions covering a wide range of topics and methodological approaches that investigate historical political episodes or analyze the contemporary legacies of past events. For inquiries, please get in touch with Didac Queralt (didac.queralt@yale.edu) or Francesc Amat (francesc.amat@ub.edu), the Yale and UB conveners, respectively. The conveners gratefully acknowledge the
generous support of the Yale MacMillan Center and the University of Barcelona.
