Subject: CFP: Economic History Association September, 1998

With the holidays, meetings, and the rush to prepare for the next
semester, it is all too easy to let the deadline for paper proposals for the
1998 Economic History Association Annual meeting slip by. Please
don't let it happen to you! The deadline this year is JANUARY 30, 1998
and the Program Committee invites your proposal on this year's
theme: Revolutions in Economic History. Details follow.

CALL FOR PAPERS: FIFTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL EHA MEETING:

REVOLUTIONS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY

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.

Those interested in being considered for the 1998 E.H.A. program
