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

[Paul Sharp]

Call for papers:

Oxford Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting

 

Event: Oxford FRESH meeting

Theme: All topics welcome

Date: 11 December 2009

Venue: St. Antony's College, Oxford

 

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. 

 

At the Oxford FRESH Meeting, Jane Humphries, Reader in Economic History
at All Souls College, Oxford and co-editor of the "Economic History
Review", has kindly agreed to give a talk on how to publish papers in
economic history.

 

The organizers offer lunch, dinner and other refreshments on the day of
the meeting, but accommodation and travel must be covered by the
participants themselves.

 

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 4 September
2009. Notification of acceptance will be given by early October 2009. 

 

The Oxford FRESH meeting is organized by Carol Leonard (local
organizer), Paul Sharp <http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm>  and
Jacob Weisdorf <http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm> . This event has
been generously sponsored by the Economic History Society's Initiatives
and Conference Fund.
