I am forwarding this for John Brown of the Economics Department of Clark
University, the chair of the program committee for the next meeting of the
Economic History Association (September 1998 in Durham, NC). The themes
the organizers have chosen are geared toward encouraging wide-ranging
panels and toward continuing the "interdisciplinary conversations" of the
most recent meeting. I hope a number of you will be interested in sending
in proposals and I especially encourage graduate students to look at the
information on the dissertation prizes. The deadline for paper proposals
is January 30, 1998 and the addresses are below.

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, 1997. 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,
1997. 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, 1997. 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, 1997.
Those interested in being considered for the 1998 E.H.A. program are
welcome to enter into conversations (E-mail encouraged) with any of the
members of the Program Committee:
