SUMMARY:Berlin FRESH Workshop 2026
DESCRIPTION:This workshop focuses on research in economic history that exam
 ines the origins, dynamics, and consequences of social conflict. In recent
  years, scholars have increasingly investigated how social groups have str
 engthened their positions and rights, especially in the areas of gender, r
 ace, class, and ethnicity. At the same time, we know more about how politi
 cal and economic elites have responded to these claims—through accommoda
 tion, repression, or co-optation—and how such responses have shaped long
 -term economic and political development. We particularly welcome contribu
 tions that use historical evidence to study conflicts over labor rights, g
 ender equality, racial and ethnic inclusion, and access to resources or po
 litical power, from around the globe. By bringing together work on these t
 opics, the workshop seeks to advance dialogue in economic history on the c
 auses and consequences of social conflict.  The purpose of this workshop i
 s to create the opportunity for PhD students, postdocs, and other early-st
 age researchers to discuss new work in the field of social conflict. This 
 will be an environment especially focused on constructive feedback and sup
 port. The keynote speaker will be Mohamed Saleh from The London School of 
 Economics.  The organizers will accommodate around 12 speakers. Accepted p
 apers will receive 45 minutes each (approx. 30 minutes for presentation an
 d 15 minutes for discussion). The workshop will take place on the 5th and 
 6th of May. As the program starts in the morning of May 5th, speakers are 
 expected to arrive by May 4th. An informal dinner will be organized that e
 vening for early arrivals, and a workshop dinner will take place on May 5t
 h. Lunch and coffee will be provided during the workshop. To help cover th
 ese costs, participants are asked to pay a fee of €50. Please note that 
 travel and hotel accommodation should be covered by participants themselve
 s. Participants are expected to attend the entire workshop.  This meeting 
 is organized by Felix Kersting  in association with the Frontier Research
  in Economic and Social History series  (FRESH-organizer Sandra de Pleijt
