Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Economics Network of the European Social Science History Conference
we invite you to begin thinking about participation in the Eighth conference to be held at the Bijloke Site in Ghent, Belgium, 13-16 April 2010.
The Economics Network anticipates sponsoring no more than 10 sessions of four papers each at these meetings given the limitations imposed by the size of the overall conference. We will welcome proposals for both single papers as well as entire sessions, but note that we reserve the right to move papers around so as to maximize the quality of those selected as well as the coherence of the final programme.
Indeed, we request that all proposals indicate the research methods that will be employed in the work so that we can link papers together into interesting sessions by methodology as well as content.
Proposals should be submitted via the conference website before the deadline of 1 May 2009.
Network chairs
Any questions you may have in advance of submitting a proposal should be directed to all three of the network co-chairs.
Anne McCants (MIT) amcants@mit.edu
Jochen Streb (University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart) j-streb@uni-hohenheim.de
Jeroen Touwen (Leiden University) l.j.touwen@let.leidenuiv.nl
Suggested sessions:
At our Network meeting in Lisbon in February of 2008 we generated a list of topics of interest to the members present. We will include that list
below to give you some idea of where we might begin in our thinking about sessions for
the next meeting.
This list is hardly exhaustive, but meant only to stimulate ideas. We look forward to hearing from you all and seeing you in Ghent in the spring of 2010.
