EH.N: CfP: 3rd Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting

[Jacob Weisdorf]

Call for papers:

3rd Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting
Event: 3rd FRESH meeting

Theme: Any subject

Date: November 14 2008

Venue: University Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France

FRESH meetings are aimed at researchers in any 
field of economic and social history. The 
meetings build on the concept that scholars 
present their ongoing research at an early stage, 
i.e. normally before it becomes published as a 
working paper or the like, and certainly before 
it is published in books or journals. The main 
aim of the meetings is to gather researchers in a 
friendly and non-imposing environment where they 
can present their research and receive 
constructive criticism from their peers.

The FRESH meeting organisers strive to 
accommodate as many speakers as possible. 
Accepted papers will normally receive 30 minutes 
each (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes 
for discussion). However, in the interest of 
avoiding parallel sessions, the presentation time 
may be shortened. In the event of space 
constraints, please note that FRESH members and 
members of the hosting faculty (or geographically 
close institutions) will be given preference.

The organizers offer meals (lunch and dinner) to 
participants, but travel and accommodation must 
be covered by participants themselves. The cost 
of accommodation is about 60-70 euros per night 
for a single room (breakfast included).

Prospective speakers should submit a one-page 
abstract and a short CV to Paul Sharp (e-mail: 
paul.sharp at econ.ku.dk) no later than June 15 
2008.   Notification of acceptance will be given 
by July 2008.

The 3rd FRESH meeting is organized by Claude 
Diebolt (local organizer), Paul Sharp 
(http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm) and 
Jacob Weisdorf 
(http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm). The 
meeting is sponsored by the Bureau d'Economie 
Théorique et Appliquée (BETA, UMR 7522 
CNRS-University Louis Pasteur Strasbourg) and the 
Association Française de Cliométrie (AFC).
