A joint venture with the universities of Barcelona, Stellenbosch (South Africa) and Wageningen (Netherlands) allows in this occasion the Economic History Program, Universidad de la República, Uruguay, to announce the 4th Southern Hemisphere Economic History Summer School (SHEHSS IV).
In this occasion the SHEHSS IV is willing to attract postgraduate students working on the economic history of developing regions, particularly of Africa and Latin America, in order to stimulate comparative studies.
We aim to gather together a group of 15-20 students, who will present their own research, discuss and comment other student´s papers, receive comments by invited scholars and attend a set of lectures.
