EH.N: ANN: BHC Dissertation Colloquium reminder

[Roger Horowitz]

The Business History Conference is continuing to accept applications 
for its Newcomen Dissertation Colloquium that will be held in 
conjunction with the 2008 BHC annual meeting. This intensive 
workshop, sponsored by the BHC through the generous support of the 
Newcomen Society of the United States, will take place at the 
conference venue Wednesday afternoon and evening, April 9, and 
Thursday morning, April 10. Participants will work closely with a 
small, distinguished group of BHC-affiliated scholars, including at 
least two of its officers. The assembled scholars and students will 
review dissertation proposals, consider relevant literatures and 
research strategies, and discuss the business history profession. 
Limited to ten students, it is intended for doctoral candidates in 
the early stages of their dissertation projects. Those interested in 
participating should submit to Roger Horowitz, BHC 
Secretary-Treasurer (rh at udel.edu), a statement of interest, a 
preliminary or final dissertation prospectus, and a CV. Please make 
clear that you are interested in the Dissertation Colloquium. One 
recommendation from the dissertation supervisor (or prospective 
supervisor) should also be faxed (302-655-3188) or emailed to Roger 
Horowitz by December 15, 2007. The review committee will notify all 
applicants of its decisions by February 1st. A grant from the 
Newcomen Society of the United States will provide each participant 
with a $400US honorarium.
