Welcome to the Social History Society

Deviance, Inclusion and Exclusion

This strand investigates issues related to the history of individuals, ideas and practices considered errant or dangerous to the societies in which they occur and the mechanisms of criticism, comment and control that operate in these societies. This covers the study of law, crime, deviance, forms of behaviour and the practices of inclusion and exclusion. The strand welcomes case studies, comparative studies across region/national boundaries as well as across chronologies. It also welcomes work investigating the theory and historiography that is relevant to research in these areas.

Proposals for papers that explore these themes in relation to any historical period or region of study or from any disciplinary perspective are welcomed. Proposals for panels of 2-3 papers and chair, discussion panels or single papers are equally welcome.
