It will be a huge honour to deliver the 2026 #HajnalLecture at the University of Manchester. It will also be something of a homecoming: Manchester was not only the place I grew up, it shaped my love of Economic History. #Manchester #EconHist @manchester.ac.uk #ArthurLewisLab @nunopgpalma.bsky.social

I think there will also be quite a sharp divide between economic and political historians, in that there's a plausible econhist that goes 'actually growth looks to be recovering until 2016' and a polhist 'it was mad and irresponsible to do such a painful budget that close to the referendum'.

Call for Papers:

4th Norwegian 🇳🇴 Winter Games ❄️ in Economic History

📍 NTNU Trondheim
📅 29 January 2026

📄 CfP Deadline: 19 October

Vi forventer noen berømte gjester fra Byåsen IL 👀

#econhist #EconSky #skystorians
Call for Papers 4th Norwegian Winter Games in Economic History NTNU Trondheim 29 January 2026 The Norwegian Economic History Association (NØHF) invites submissions for the fourth Winter Games in Economic History, to be held at NTNU Trondheim, on 29 January 2026. We have retained the popular low threshold workshop format for the Winter Games. The aim is to bring together scholars as well as PhD and master level students to help each other to develop new research ideas and paper drafts for publication. We therefore welcome submissions of two kinds: i) paper drafts and ii) outlines of future research projects. Although discussants will be assigned to each paper or research idea, all participants are expected to read colleagues’ papers and contribute to discussions. The Winter Games will continue to be a broad arena. We apply a broad understanding of economic history and welcome submissions from business history and other, neighbouring fields (i.e. historical political economy, social history, labour history, historical demography, history of economic thought, etc.). Contributions from master students and junior researchers are as valuable as those from established scholars. “Norwegian” is understood in a most liberal way, i.e., scholars either based in Norway or working on a topic related to it, independent of nationality. We also welcome contributions from other Scandinavian countries. Moreover, as a low threshold arena, papers in all stages of preparation are welcome, from your roughest draft to highly polished gems. Please send a short abstract (up to 300 words) for consideration to: norwegianeconhist@gmail.com Please specify whether your contribution will be a draft paper (i) or the outline of a future research project (ii). Deadline for submission of abstracts: 19 October Notification of successful applicants: 1 November Deadline for submission of papers: 18 January 2026
