This is an in-person conference. There are strong grounds for arguing that Southern Africa and the world find themselves in what historian\, Professor Adam Tooze\, has called a ‘polycrisis’: a wide-ranging set of interlocking economic\, political\, social and environmental crises\, which are currently manifesting themselves in alarming fashion\, and which have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical shocks such as the war in Ukraine. \nHistory and the skills\, and methods of historians provide invaluable tools for understanding the past in general\, as it relates to the present. Historians seek to identify patterns: mapping continuity\, change and crises onto the past. The evaluation of crises and debates about their existence or otherwise\, their origins and extent\, are at the very heart of the practice of history\, and claims about crises\, their causes\, severity and resolution are central to the realm of politics\, more broadly. \nHistorical research at its best can provide a sense of perspective on the import\, duration and seriousness of perceived crises. Southern Africa is self-evidently being impacted by the global ‘polycrisis’ which Tooze identifies\, but the challenge is to delineate and debate the specific form(s) of the crises finding expression in the region – in the continent – at  present\, their origins\, their contingent nature and their severity. It might be argued that the history of southern Africa as a whole has been marked\, over the centuries\, by successive crises of various sorts\, from the precolonial era\, through to the present. Processes of state formation\, migration\, colonialism\, resistance\, economic\, social and environmental change have produced numerous perceived and real crises that have had major political ramifications\, principally across the region but also into Southern Africa and its soil-rooted and oceanic hinterlands\, into Africa and out into the world beyond. Contemporary concerns across southern Africa include the social and economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic\, deepening inequality\, the land question\, the effects of climate change and energy transitions\, contestations over migration\, ethnicity and xenophobia\, crises of infrastructure and government more broadly. \nAll submissions must be done via the SAHS website\, www.sahs.org.za. The closing date for\nsubmissions is the end of February 2024. You may also apply for membership and pay for\nthe conference via the website. In a bid to assist our members\, conference fees have not\nchanged since 2022. \nConference registration commences on 1 March 2024.\nEarly-bird registration ends on 12 April 2024\nEarly-bird registration fee for SAHS members only: R2500\nRegular fee after 12 April 2024: R2900\nPostdoctoral fellows: R2400\nPostgraduate students: R1900 – There will also be a limited number of post-graduate\nbursaries to assist with registration fees. \nFurther details regarding student subsidies\, conference logistics\, and the SAHS Vice-\nPresidential Graduate Student prize will be published on the SAHS conference website in\ndue course.
