The 2010 annual conference of the Economic History Society will be hosted by the University of Durham from 26 to 28 March. Accommodation and some meetings will be located in Collingwood College and the majority of sessions in two adjacent buildings on the Science Site. The College is a 10-minute walk from the Science Site and shuttle buses will be provided at certain times of the day. The conference programme committee welcomes proposals in all aspects of economic and social history covering a wide range of periods and countries, and particularly welcomes papers of an interdisciplinary nature.  Preference may be given to scholars who did not present a paper at the previous year’s conference.  Those currently studying for, or who have recently completed, a PhD should submit a proposal to the New Researcher session; please contact Maureen Galbraith (ehsocsec@arts.gla.ac.uk) for further information.

The committee invites proposals for individual papers, as well as for entire sessions (3 speakers, 1.5 hours duration).  The latter should include proposals and synopses for each paper in the session, although the committee reserves the right to determine which papers will be presented in the session if it is accepted.  If a session is not accepted, the committee may incorporate one or more of the proposed papers into other panels.

For each proposed paper, please send (preferably by e-mail) a brief c.v. and a short abstract (including name, postal and e-mail addresses) of 400-500 words to:
