Call for Papers
Academic Association of Historians in Australian and New Zealand Business Schools (AAHANZBS)
Inaugural Conference
The Women's College, The University of Sydney
14-15 December 2009
Conference Organiser - Greg Patmore
The inaugural conference of AAHANZBS will provide an opportunity for researchers to present papers across the wide range of interests covered by the Association. We are interested in focussing on three themes:
(a) The role of historical research in developing theoretical perspectives in business and management;
(b) How historical research aids our understanding of contemporary issues in business and management; and
(c) Teaching history in business and management schools.
The conference includes both refereed and non-refereed streams. Intending contributors to the refereed stream should submit a paper electronically (maximum 6,000 words) to the conference organiser by Friday 31 July 2009 for consideration. Intending contributors to the non-refereed stream should submit an abstract electronically (200-300 words) by Friday 28 August to the conference organiser. On the basis of the abstract, if the paper is approved, a full non-refereed paper (maximum 6,000 words) will be due on Friday 30 October and should be submitted to the conference organiser. Both refereed and non-refereed papers will appear in conference proceedings, which will be published on-line. Papers should follow the format of Labour History.
Other highlights of the conference include a keynote address by Sandy Jacoby (UCLA) and a workshop for postgraduate research students. Full registration details will be forthcoming.
The symposium is organised by the Business and Labour History Group, Faculty of Economics and Business, The University of Sydney on behalf of the AAHANZBS and we acknowledge the financial support of the Faculty of Economics and Business, The University of Sydney.
