Society for Social and Economic History
Since 1961, the GSWG has promoted research in social and economic history and represented the discipline in public life and in dialogue with education policy-makers.
Every two years in spring, the field comes together at our working conference, where we also award the Friedrich Lütge Prize for the best dissertation.
