In der Woche nach Ostern, vom 11.-14.4.2012 findet in Glasgow die European Social Science History Conference statt, mit einem geradezu gargantueskem Programm. Ich habe mich bei den OrganisatorInnen schon danach erkundigt, ob es ein offizielles Twitter-Hashtag gibt, aber noch keine Antwort bekommen. Mein Paper stelle ich in folgendem Panel vor:

Mein Abstract (dort auch der Link zu meinem schon hochgeladenen Paper):
This paper investigates the development of a key administrative technique to get hold of the territory: the set-up of street numbers and the implementation of population statistics in the 18th century Habsburg Monarchy. The focus will be put on the difficulties the administrative personel was confronted with when implementing this registration process and the rationales behind the resistance to it.
