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 collegial environment where they can present their research and
receive constructive criticism from their peers.
The FRESH meeting organizers 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 members of the hosting faculty
and geographically close institutions will be given preference.The organizers can offer lunch, dinner and other refreshments on the day of
the meeting, but hotels and travel must be covered by the participants
themselves. Also, there will be a registration fee for this meeting of 70 EUR
payable on acceptance of your submission.
Prospective speakers should submit a one-page abstract and a short CV to
Martin Uebele (email: martin.uebele wiwi.uni-muenster.de) no later than
December 15, 2011. Notification of acceptance will be given by mid January
2012.
The Muenster FRESH meeting is organized by Martin Uebele (local organizer),
Rowena Gray, Paul Sharp and Jacob Weisdorf. For more information about FRESH
