CfP: War, injury and trauma panel for Social Science History Association 2024

We are seeking 1-2 papers for a Social Science History Association panel on the broad topic of war, injury and trauma, and the long-term effects of wartime experiences. In keeping with SSHA practices, we welcome geographic and temporal diversity in submissions. We welcome papers that take a novel approach to identifying traumatic events, and measuring their long-term impact.

We have a paper each proposed for the session. Adam Negri will be presenting a paper on measuring brain injury and its long term effects in US World War I veterans. Evan Roberts will be presenting a paper about the Japanese-American population prior to, during, and after World War II incarceration.

For SSHA submissions, a title and abstract of up to 250 words are required by 23 February. SSHA will be held in Toronto from 31 October - 3 November.

Please contact Evan Roberts with a title and abstract by 20 February 2024, which will be submitted to the SSHA portal as a complete panel.
