Call for Papers

2009 Economic and Business Historical Society Conference, Grand Rapids 
Michigan, April 23-25


The Economic and Business Historical Society welcomes proposals for 
presentations on all aspects of business and economic history at its 
33rd annual conference at Grand Rapids, Michigan -- April 23-25, 2009. 
Composed of more than one hundred North American and international 
members, the Economic & Business Historical Society offers its members 
and conference participants an opportunity for intellectual interchange 
within a collegial interdisciplinary group.  The Society holds its 
annual convention in locations of historical significance.  Both the 
annual membership ($30) and conference registration fees are modest. 
Papers presented at the conference may be submitted for publication in 
the Society's peer reviewed journal, _Essays in Economic and Business 
History_, edited by Lynne Pierson Doti, Chapman University.

The Society seeks proposals for both individual papers and panel 
sessions. Proposals for individual papers should include an abstract of 
no more than 500 words, a brief CV, postal and email addresses, and 
telephone and fax numbers. Panel proposals should also suggest a title 
and a panel chair. Graduate students and non-academic affiliates are 
welcome. Graduate students may qualify for reduced registration fees. 
Submissions imply that at least one author will register for the 
conference and be present at the time designated in the conference 
program.  To be included in the proceedings and to be eligible for 
publication in _Essays in Economic and Business History_, the paper must 
be presented by one of the authors at the conference.

Submissions by scholars from countries requiring an entry visa into the 
United states must apply early, pay the required registration fee, and 
make the necessary arrangements with the local U.S. Consulate.  EBHS 
cannot guarantee that an applicant will be granted a visa by the local 
U.S. Consulate to attend the conference.

The deadline for submission is January 15th, 2009.

Proposals may be submitted online using the form at
