Via H-Announce, we learned of a call for papers for an online conference on “Political and administrative elites in Europe – Theory and Practice in Historical Perspective.

The conference focus will lie mainly on the transformations underwent by elites during the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the twentieth century, and the deriving social mobility. While political and administrative upper layers form the main cohort of interest, papers on other social and professional elite categories (economic elite, church representatives, intellectuals, etc.) are equally welcome. Within the framework of the conference, we aim at addressing three essential aspects: defining (and self-defining of) elites, the changes, shifts and transitions which delineate the process of social mobility, and the methods and tools by means of which the latter can be traced and researched for the 19th and 20th centuries upper social layers. Hence, we welcome contributions focusing on one of the following topics:”

The full call can be found on H-Announce.
