The Conference
The International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic and Mobility (T2M) invites proposals for papers to be presented at its Eighth International Conference to be held at the National Rail Museum, New Delhi, India from December 2nd to 5th 2010.
The Theme
This year the Conference Theme is ‘Transportation as a Lifeline of Development’. The Call for Papers (CfP) invites papers in this Theme field but at the same time it is open to all subjects in the history, heritage and sustainable development of transport, traffic and mobility.
The 8 International Conference of T2M is devoted to analysis and consideration of the relationships between transport infrastructures between transport infrastructures and the development of societies, states, regions, cities or companies. Papers and sessions which are related to the Conference Theme shall present the complexity of mutual influences between transport infrastructures and economic and societal development. It is, however, possible to propose papers and sessions in all topics related to the history of transport, traffic and mobility. The Conference Theme does not bind applicants.
Participants are encouraged, though not required, to organize panels on these themes. A panel consists of a chair and normally up to three speakers; no commentator is required. We especially encourage transnational, comparative and transmodal approaches, and welcome proposals exploring theoretical or methodological issues as well as those of a more empirical nature. We especially invite recent entrants to the profession and doctoral students to submit proposals.
Posters
T2M 2010 wants to invest more energy into communication. Posters of all oral presentations will be exhibited in the public area of India’s most visited rail museum. This innovation will contribute to better promotion of the history of transport, traffic and mobility as a scientific discipline and as a public service. Submission of a fully completed poster form (1 page A4) is mandatory for all speakers. Posters will be judged. Poster forms will be made available later on the website of the Programme Committee.
The Deadline
Please send proposals to: submissions t2m.org. The deadline for sending in the abstracts and a short CV (max one page each; Word or Rich Text Format only) is May 15th. Since it may be a problem for many scholars to get funding for transport, accommodation and the Conference, the Programme committee therefore will send out acceptance letters for the selected papers as soon as possible, in order to facilitate applications for funding. Ph.D. students are encouraged to apply for travel grants from T2M. Please find application forms under www.t2m.org
Poster forms will be made available shortly on the website of the Programme committee. Session proposals should also include a one-page overview of the session. Submitters will be notified by the Programme committee during the first week of June 2010 on the success or status of their submission.
The Deadline
The full paper of all accepted submissions and of the posters must be delivered on or before September 15, 2010. These papers will be copied onto a Conference CD-ROM for distribution in advance to all Conference participants. Individual presentations at the Conference are therefore to be limited to a fifteen-minute summary to allow for debate and discussion within the session.
All participants are required to register. For details of T2M and of previous conferences, please visit: www.t2m.org. Further details of the Conference (including the poster form) will shortly be available on www.ciltindia.com.
All applications should be sent to: submissionst2m.org
