The 2011 annual conference of the Economic History Society will be hosted by Robinson College, University of Cambridge from 1 - 3 April.
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.
Proposals should please be submitted online via the Economic History Society website (www.ehs.org.uk). You will be asked to submit a short abstract (400-500 words), a brief c.v. and your contact details (including name, postal and e-mail address).
Any queries should please be directed to:
Maureen Galbraith
Department of Economic & Social History
University of Glasgow
Lilybank House, Bute Gardens
Glasgow G12 8RT
Scotland, UK
E-mail: ehsocsecarts.gla.ac.uk
For full consideration, proposals must be received by 13 September 2010. Notices of acceptance will be sent to individual paper givers by 16 November 2010.
Should your paper be accepted, you will be asked to provide the following:
§ An abstract of the paper for inclusion in the conference booklet (by 13 December 2010).
§ A brief non-technical summary of your paper for the 'Media Briefings' section of the Society's website (by 1 February 2011).
§ An electronic copy of your full paper or a web address where the paper is available for consultation (by 1 March 2011).
It is the normal expectation that speakers who submit a proposal for a paper to the Conference Committee should be able to obtain independent financial support for their travel and conference attendance. However, a very limited support fund exists to assist overseas speakers who are unable to obtain funding from their own institution or from another source. Details of this fund and an application form can be obtained from the Society's administrative secretary, Maureen Galbraith (ehsocsec@arts.gla.ac.uk). It is important that a completed application form is submitted by the September deadline. Only in exceptional circumstances will later applications for support be considered.
