===================== HES POSTING ====================
Fifty-Seventh Annual E.H.A. Meeting
The 1998 Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association
will be held at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club, Durham, North
Carolina, September 25-27, 1998. The theme of the program is
"Revolutions in Economic History." The theme refers to historical cases
in which economic structures of long standing and apparent stability
either disintegrate or are overturned by something new. "Revolutions"
may include the famous upheavals of political and economic history
(e.g., French, Russian, Industrial), but also sociopolitical
transformations such as the Civil Rights Revolution in the United
States, discontinuous changes in the norms of labor relations or family
life, etc. Conventional economics has little to say about these
phenomena, but history should have plenty to say.
Members of the program committee are: John Brown (Chair),
David Carlton, Jane Humphries, and Warren Whatley. The committee
especially encourages proposals for papers and sessions that help
promote intellectual conversations among scholars who may assess
revolutions in economic history from differing analytical or
disciplinary perspectives.
To submit a proposal for a paper, send a short abstract (150 words)
and a longer 3-5 page abstract to John Brown postmarked by January 30,
1998. Proposals may also be submitted by using the form available
from the E.H.A. Web Site at
http://www.eh.net/EHA/Announcements/EHA_sub_prop_98.html. If a draft
of the paper is available, please send it in addition to the
abstracts.
The committee welcomes proposals for entire sessions as well as for
individual papers. Proposals for sessions should include abstracts for
each paper in the session. The committee does reserve the right to
assign papers to sessions and to accept some papers from a proposed
session if the entire session is not accepted. For full consideration,
proposals must be received by January 30, 1998. Submissions must
include the full name, mailing address, telephone number(s), fax
number, and E-mail address of all authors. Notices of acceptance will
be sent to the individual paper givers by March 30, 1998.
