The Organizing Committee of the Vth Meeting of Young Researchers in Contemporary History

In this second notice, we are pleased to publicise the final panel-workshop list which will constitute the V Meeting of Young Scholars of the Contemporary History Association, in which we invite you to attend by submitting your paper proposals. Despite the difficulties faced in the selection process due to the great success in receiving panel proposals, we think that the wide and diverse range of sessions we are presenting here is the most accurate reflection of the dominant interests of the young scholars within our historiographical community, in which we are adding the interests of some foreign colleagues who have decided to join us in this very special occasion. In this sense, and being aware of the absence of certain approaches and paradigms, is no less true that some of them can be represented within some of the panel-workshops which form the final programme of the V Meeting.
Thus, we encourage you to explore the different working proposals prepared by the coordinators and chairs of the panels, which, as you can see, provide enough information to be aware of the way the general topic/area of research is going to be discussed and dealt with in each one of the panels. Therefore, we suggest you to read them carefully in order to confirm which one of them is closer to your interests and better for the fruitful discussion of your paper. The meetings of young scholars have been, and must remain in the future, an occasion to widen the horizons and keep improving our research, being based on the debate and contact with other colleagues. That is why your involvement by discussing your papers is essential for making sense of this V Meeting of Young Scholars. In this sense, we are kindly asking you to make an effort in searching a common ground between your proposal and the guidelines and rationalia established by the coordinators and chairs, in order to avoid the conversion of the panel-workshop in a miscellaneous space. However, this does not intend to be an impediment in setting up your paper proposal from different points of view and making the most of the real and potential contents of every panel-workshop, something which can only benefit everyone of the participants, obviously including the coordinators and chairs.
In the following link, you can find the form with which you can submit your paper proposal. This is a form which has successfully worked, in our understanding, in the submission of panel-proposals and, while it represents a bigger challenge and effort, it allows the researcher to display his or her interests and ideas, but also enables the task of the coordinators, in evaluating better and in a fairer way the proposals submitted. As you can see, the form consists of a 250-word summary in which you should include the framework of your proposal –this is: your case of study, and its general contents- and the main arguments and thesis which will appear in your paper. In addition, we have included a section for keywords and another one for explaining the main motivations which drive your proposal, as a rationalia. The deadline for receiving the paper proposals is no later than 1 November 2014. The proposals must be sent to the coordinators/chairs of the selected panel-workshop and also to the Organising Committee (joveneshistoria2015@gmail.com). The coordinators of each panel-workshop are in their right to refuse a proposal when it does not meet the minimum requirements or in case the number of proposals received force them to make a selection process for the good running of the session; in the same way, they can suggest a transfer of those proposals which, under their criteria, are better adapted to the contents of another panel-workshop. We ask the coordinators to communicate the Orginising Committee the final list of proposals accepted in their panel-workshop no later than 1 December 2014. Then, the 3rd Notice will be published the 15 December2015, in which we will specify the editorial guidelines for the submission of the final texts, and many other details in relation to the Meeting. The deadline for the submission of the final text of the paper is 15 April 2015.
To conclude, the coordinators/chairs of each panel-workshop will be able to publicise individually their proposals, using the means they consider more convenient. In the meantime, the Organising Committee guarantees a collective publicity of this second notice in the main international distribution and mailing lists with the aim of ensuring the widest possible reception of proposals. Finally, the coordinators/chairs are in their right to consider the option of giving some continuity and output to the work done in their panel-workshop through the edition of collective publications or the creation of dossiers for journals of research, in any case, always after July 2015 and without prejudice to the publication of the papers in the proceedings of the V Meeting of Young Scholars, for those who wish to do so. After all, the Organising Committee wishes the utmost and enduring impact of the work done in the organisation and running of the panel-workshops in all the areas concerned, which is the main reason behind the celebration of an academic activity of this scale and significance.
