With the holidays, meetings, and the rush to prepare for the next semester, it is all too easy to let the deadline for paper proposals for the 1998 Economic History Association Annual meeting slip by. Please don't let it happen to you! The deadline this year is JANUARY 30, 1998 and the Program Committee invites your proposal on this year's theme: Revolutions in Economic History. Details follow.
The 1998 Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association will be held at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, Durham, North Carolina, September 25-27, 1998. The theme of the program is "Revolutions in Economic History." The theme refers to historical cases in which economic structures of long standing and apparent stability either disintegrate or are overturned by something new. "Revolutions" may include the famous upheavals of political and economic history (e.g., French, Russian, Industrial), but also sociopolitical transformations such as the Civil Rights Revolution in the United States, discontinuous changes in the norms of labor relations or family life, etc. Conventional economics has little to say about these phenomena, but history should have plenty to say.
Members of the program committee are: John Brown (Chair), David Carlton, Jane Humphries, and Warren Whatley. The committee especially encourages proposals for papers and sessions that help promote intellectual conversations among scholars who may assess revolutions in economic history from differing analytical or disciplinary perspectives.
To submit a proposal for a paper, send a short abstract (150 words) and a longer 3-5 page abstract to John Brown postmarked by January 30, 1998. Proposals may also be submitted by using the form available from the E.H.A. Web Site at http://www.eh.net/EHA/Announcements/EHA_sub_prop_98.html. If a draft of the paper is available, please send it in addition to the abstracts.
The committee welcomes proposals for entire sessions as well as for individual papers. Proposals for sessions should include abstracts for each paper in the session. The committee does reserve the right to assign papers to sessions and to accept some papers from a proposed session if the entire session is not accepted. For full consideration, proposals must be received by January 30, 1998. Submissions must include the full name, mailing address, telephone number(s), fax number, and E-mail address of all authors. Notices of acceptance will be sent to the individual paper givers by March 30, 1998.
Those interested in being considered for the 1998 E.H.A. program are welcome to enter into conversations (E-mail encouraged) with any of the members of the Program Committee:
