TRANSNATIONAL HISTORIES OF VOLUNTARY ACTION
The Voluntary Action History Society is a UK-based group of historians, contemporary researchers and voluntary sector practitioners that promotes research and discussion on the history of charity, campaigning and civic association. We are seeking to build on our strong links with researchers in other countries by establishing a new global network of historians resarching these themes from a transnational perspective. We are particularly keen to collaborate on funding bids for research and/or events.
To find out more information please visit: http://www.vahs.org.uk/about/transnational-network/
If you are interested in this new network, please contact us by 19 November 2011. We would like to hear about your chronological, geographical and thematic areas of interest. At this time, unfortunately, we are only able to receive expressions of interest in English.
