The Economic History Association invites proposals for panels and 
papers for the next meeting to be held Sept 6-8, 1996, in Berkeley, 
California.  The Association wishes to make a special effort to draw more 
historians back into the field.  The theme is "Comparative History." 
Ideally, the program will offer a broad spectrum of methods and topics, 
from more mathematically-oriented to more historical treatments of 
economic topics, such as ideologies and practices.  Panels generally have 
5-7 participants: 3 paper-givers and 2-3 commentators (usually one per 
paper), and a chair.  The program committee can be of some help putting 
potential panelists in touch with each other and we are actively seeking 
interested historians with expertise in economic issues.  We prefer 
complete panels, but will consider individual paper proposals.  The 
committee, of course, reserves the right to determine which papers are 
accepted and may create panels from individual submissions or papers that 
were on panels that were not accepted. 
 
The deadline for proposals is January 15, 1996.  Send two copies of the 
abstract for each proposed paper (or the paper itself, if possible), to 
Avner Greif, Dept, of Economics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94350. 
 
For further information, contact Prof. Greif at [log in to unmask] 
 
Tim Guinnane (Yale Economics Dept.) and Judith Miller (Emory University, 
History Dept.) are the other members of the program committee. 
 
We hope you will consider sending in a proposal.
