Im Fruehjahr 2000 wird in Amsterdam wieder die European Social Science History Conference stattfinden. Wie die ersten beiden Male wird sie vom Internationalen Institut fuer Sozialgeschichte in Amsterdam ausserordentlich professionell ausgerichtet.
Nicht die "Sozialgeschichte der (Gross-)Vaeter" sondern die interdisziplinare Forschung der aelteren und juengeren Geschwister in Ökonomie, Geographie, Soziologie und Geschichte aus unserer naeheren und entfernteren Partnerlaender kann man hier besichtigen. Der Kongress zieht eine ausserordentlich interessante Mischung von Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus Europa und Nordamerika an. Insbesondere Skandinavien, die Niederlande, Großbritannien und die USA waren bei den beiden ersten Treffen 1996 und 1998 stark vertreten. Die deutsche Praesenz koennte man als ausbaufaehig beschreiben.
Die Gestaltung des Programms erfolgt von unten nach oben durch thematische Netzwerke, die es zu den verschiedensten Themengebieten von der Antike bis heute gibt. Ihre Liste findet sich auf der unten angegebenen Website. Nach der allgemeinen Konferenzankündigung folgt hier der "call for papers" des Netzwerks "Soziale Ungleichheit und Sozialpolitik", das von Lynn Lees <lhlees@mail.sas.upenn.edu> und Marco van Leeuwen <mle@iisg.nl> koordiniert wird; die Themen der Sektionen sind Vorschlaege und Anregungen aus dem Kreis der Mitglieder des Netzwerks (deshalb z.T. die Namen) - andere Themen fuer Sektionen oder Podiumsdiskussionen sind denkbar.
