The 20th World Economic History Congress invites you, who recently published a scholarly book with economic historical content, to present it at special sessions during the WEHC from 28 July – 1 August 2025.

You are eligible to apply if you had or are planning a book release, monograph, or anthology, between 1 January 2022 and 28 July 2025; it must have materialized before the opening of the Congress. Each book will be given 40–45 minutes at the session, and you can as an author choose between two formats: (1) Present the book yourself and then open it for discussion or (2), engage a reviewer with whom you discuss the book and then open for general discussion. Note that if you choose (2), the organizing committee will not provide a reviewer, it’s entirely up to you.

Apply by emailing wehc2025@ekh.lu.se. Enter “Book session” in the subject box. The mail must state your name, affiliation, the title of the book, the publisher, and when it was or is to be published.

Send your application no later than 1 January 2025.
