Conference Materials
(Conference materials for each week will be posted the Sunday of that week.)
Individuals wishing to discuss individual presentations or ideas raised in panels are encouraged to raise the issue on the H-France Discussion List.
The content of presentations is the exclusive responsibility of the presenters and does not necessarily represent the views of the Society for French Historical Studies, the George Rudé Society, H-France, the University of Auckland, or Massey University.
If any material in a presentation infringes upon your copyrighted material, please contact the Editor-in-Chief of H-France to address the issue. The Editor-in-Chief’s email is available here.
Conference programme: PDF
The conference programme is divided into four weeks across July, and we will be using a twenty-four hour clock in order to prevent confusion between different time zones. There are four types of session: Keynotes, Webinars, Salons, and Panels. The general principle is that Keynotes and Webinars are live and recorded, Salons are live but not recorded, and Panels are pre-recorded. If you want to participate in sessions that are live and not recorded you will have to log in for the live session. Links for the live sessions are available in that week’s listings and will also be distributed on H-France in the week preceding the event.
Registration
There is no registration fee required for this virtual conference. We would ask you to ensure that you are a paid-up member of the Society for French Historical Studies if that is your home society and the conference that you usually attend. To update your SFHS membership, please visit: https://www.dukeupress.edu/
Extraordinary circumstances created this very special conference and enabled us to try things that will help many other historical conferences in the future. We strongly encourage you to consider, if possible, making a donation to help with operating costs and the editing of the Rudé Society’s journal French History and Civilization. Depending on your tax residency, please contact: David Garrioch, Secretary, Rudé Society: david.garrioch@monash.edu or, for North Americans, go to this site to make a donation: sfhsconference.org. Funds beyond operating costs will be shared to support the SFHS, the Rudé Society, and H-France. (Tax-deductible for US Citizens.)
Submissions for French History and Civilization
The editor of French History and Civilization (the Rudé Seminar proceedings), Dr. Briony Neilson, will welcome written papers from the conference for the next issue of French History and Civilization that is published on H-France in a peer-reviewed online format. Please note that in addition to all conference participants, submissions are warmly invited from anyone whose proposal was accepted for the Auckland conference but who could not participate in the virtual event.
