See below. Young Scholars should strive to get in proposals by the  
end of this week.


Each year, the History of Economics Society supports Young Scholars  
(YS) who wish to present papers at the annual HES Conference.  
Selected HES Young Scholars receive free registration, a banquet  
ticket and a year's membership to the Society.

Begun in 2000, the YS Program consistently features some of the most  
interesting and innovation scholarship at the HES Conference. If you,  
or a student you know, is interested, please submit a Young Scholar's  
Paper Proposal using the link on the Conference Website
( http://historyofeconomics.org/Conference08/YS2008.htm ).

 From the proposal abstracts received, in consultation with the  
conference organizer, the President (Sandy Peart) will create up to 4  
thematically linked Young Scholar sessions. Abstracts will be chosen  
based on originality and scholarly merit as well as clarity of  
exposition and the strength of the argument. If the President feels  
there are good abstracts that fail to fit with other YS proposals  
thematically, she has the option of asking the HES conference  
organizer to fit the additional Young Scholars into the regular  
program. All Young Scholars whose abstracts are chosen will receive  
free registration, a banquet ticket and a year's membership to the  
Society.

In addition, YS who submit their full paper for consideration by the  
end of April 2008 will be considered for free conference  
accommodation. From submitted papers, the HES President may choose up  
to 5 Young Scholars for free accommodation. A Young Scholar must be a  
PhD candidate or have obtained the PhD in the 2 years preceding the  
HES Conference.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
