Oxford 2014 - 2014 Oxford Naval History Conference

For thirty years as the Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History at the U.S. Naval War College, John Hattendorf has furthered historical understanding among naval professionals and reinvigorated maritime scholarship. Reflecting the breadth of John Hattendorf’s historical perspective, this conference provides an opportunity for research students and recognised authorities to present the latest research in naval history that pushes traditional boundaries and asks innovative questions. The organizers seek to stimulate discussion between naval personnel and academics on the formulation and execution of strategy, the development of traditional and irregular naval tactics, and the influence of seapower in international relations. Additional topics might include finance, naval theory, logistics, social history, shipbuilding, and the ‘fiscal-naval state’.
Speakers will give papers of twenty minutes on their research followed by ten minutes of questions from the audience.
Those wishing to present a paper should complete the Paper submission form by 1 September 2013.
Announcements to applicants will be made in September 2013. Non-conference speakers are invited to apply to attend the conference; space is limited and further information is available in the ‘Registration' section.
