CALL FOR PAPERS: YOUNG SCHOLARS SESSIONS AT THE 2010 HISTORY OF
ECONOMICS SOCIETY MEETINGS

The 2010 History of Economics Society Conference will be held over
June 25-28 at Syracuse University. 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. For the 2010 HES Conference, funds will also be made
available to defray housing costs for up to five Young Scholars.

Begun in 2000, the Young Scholars 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://hes2010.syr.edu/). Please designate in your abstract that
this is a "Young Scholar Proposal." The deadline for submissions is
February 21, 2010.

  From the proposal abstracts received, in consultation with the
conference organizer, the President (Steven Medema) 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, he 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 2010 will be considered for free conference
accommodations. From submitted papers, the HES President may choose
up to 5 Young Scholars for free accommodations. A Young Scholar must
be a PhD candidate or have obtained the PhD in the 2 years preceding
the HES Conference.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

Jerry Evensky
2010 HES Conference Organizer
