The Council of the International Economic History Association (IEHA)
will meet in Stellenbosch during November 2010 in preparation for the
World Economic History Congress 2012. The Economic History Society of
Southern Africa (EHSSA), in collaboration with Economic Research
Southern Africa (ERSA) and Future Research in Economic and Socia
History (FRESH) plan a two-and-a-half day conference following the
meeting, offering Council members the opportunity to present their
research and younger scholars a platform to present their work to
esteemed international scholars. This is a first Call for Papers for the
ERSA/FRESH Conference to be held at STIAS, Stellenbosch, South Africa,
24-26 November 2010.
As the sixth ERSA Economic History event, the ERSA/FRESH Conference is
part of a broader initiative to encourage new research on African
topics, as well as other developing regions. In line with this, and in
support of the Society's journal, Economic History of Developing
Regions, the topic for this workshop relates to what and how developing
regions can learn from history. Papers are welcomed from all disciplines
within economic history, using different approaches and methodologies,
on comparative or region/country-specific cases.
The organisers offer lunch and other refreshments on the days of the
meeting, as well as accommodation to all participants who present a
paper. An evening dinner event is also sponsored by the host. Travel to
Stellenbosch must be covered by the participants themselves.
Abstract submissions are due Friday, 30 July 2010. The conference
organisers request an abstract of not shorter than 500 words. All
submissions will be evaluated and authors will be informed of acceptance
by the end of August at the latest. Full papers should be sent to the
conference organisers before or on 12 November 2010. Participants will
be expected to present their work in twenty minutes, followed by ten
minute discussions. There will be no parallel sessions. Jan Luiten van
Zanden, president of the IEHA, will deliver the final keynote address.
All submissions and correspondence should be sent to ehssa sun.ac.za.
