From: "Alter, George C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 8:37 AM Subject: an inviatation from SSHA The Social Science History Association (SSHA) is welcoming proposals for sessions on the history of environmental change, property rights, or common resources at its 2002 annual meeting. SSHA was created to encourage interdisciplinary approaches to historical problems, and it attracts participants from across all social science disciplines. The association is organized around "networks" that share interests in particular topics. Some of these networks provide a home for research areas that are largely ignored by the main disciplinary associations. For example, historical demography, which merits at most two sessions at the Population Association of America and rarely has even one at the American Historical Association, usually provides 18 to 20 sessions at SSHA. Furthermore, the interdisciplinary nature of SSHA brings together scholars who might otherwise never meet. The SSHA website is at http://www.ssha.org. It seems to us that environmental change, property rights, and common resources are topics that would fit very well within SSHA. The association already has active networks in historical geography, economic history, and rural history, which have related interests. We hope to organize several sessions on these topics, so that a core group attends the next SSHA meeting (St. Louis, October 24-27, 2002). We will set aside times and places for new networks to form, and the rest will be up to the participants. If a new network results from this meeting, a representative from the group will be included in the Program Committee for the 2003 annual meeting. The "Call for Papers" for the 2002 meeting of SSHA is at http://www.ssha.org/ssha2002/cfp.html. Papers and sessions can be submitted on-line until February 15. In the field for indicating the network, you may indicate "Program committee" to bring your submission to our attention.
