CFP--HES at 2009 ASSA

The History of Economics Society will sponsor four sessions at the  
Allied Social Sciences Association (ASSA) meetings, January 3-5, 2009  
in San Francisco. Please submit session proposals, suggestions for  
organizing sessions and abstracts for papers (approx. 200 words) no  
later than May 1, 2008. Proposals should be sent via email to the HES  
Vice President, Evelyn Forget, at [log in to unmask]

Session Objectives and Preferences
The ASSA offers the History of Economics Society a rare opportunity to  
present high quality research in our field to a large audience of  
professional economists who are not working in the field, but who  
might find the history of economics a valuable resource for their  
research and teaching.

With that in mind, preference will be given first and foremost to high  
quality. Then, among high quality submissions, preference will be  
given to submissions that are judged to have the greatest potential  
for crossover interest.

Sessions are almost invariably more interesting if the topics of the  
presentations are well integrated. For this reason submissions for  
whole sessions will be given preferential consideration.

A Note on Process
Responses to well constructed proposals will certainly be encouraging,  
and may offer suggestions for further development of the proposal.  
Please understand, however, that compliments, suggestions, or  
encouragement do not connote acceptance. Please do not assume a  
proposal is accepted until an official notice of acceptance is received.
