Paper requirements

The length of the paper should be between 15 and 20 pages exclusive of tables, references and indexes, and it should take no more than ten minutes to present the paper. It is possible to use Power Point equipment if needed in context of the presentation. The paper does not need to include an abstract. The preferable font to be used is Times New Roman with line spacing 1,5.

Please note that the paper should include a short explanation of the context of the paper. That should clarify whether the paper presented in the workshop is already a compilation of some research results, a preliminary part of doctoral thesis or something else. This is to help the opponents to formulate their feedback functional and thus useful for the respondent.The finished paper should be submitted no later than 25 May in the form of a *.doc or *.pdf file attached to an email message directed to coordinator Anna Alanko (anna.alanko [at] helsinki.fi)

In addition to presenting a paper, each participant is expected to comment on someone else’s paper. The opponents (one student and one guest lecturer) for each paper will be decided in advance. All papers will be available before the start of the summer school at the NordWel’s homepage.

After the summerschool, there will be a possibility of publishing some of the most advanced papers in the upcoming NordWel-publication series NordWel Studies in Historical Welfare State Research (please find more information about the series here).
