Call for papers: Oxford Future Research in Economic and Social History (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 closeinstitutions) 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: [mailto]paul.sharp@econ.ku.dk[/mailto]) 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, [url]http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm[/url] and Jacob Weisdorf [url]http://www.keynes.dk/fresh/contact.htm[/url].
