Young Scholar Session HES 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS: YOUNG SCHOLARS SESSIONS AT THE 2010 HISTORY OF ECONOMICS SOCIETY MEETINGS
The 2010 History of Economics Society Conference will be held over June 25-28 at Syracuse University. Each year, the History of Economics Society supports Young Scholars (YS) who wish to present papers at the annual HES Conference. Selected HES Young Scholars receive free registration, a banquet ticket and a year's membership to the Society. For the 2010 HES Conference, funds will also be made available to defray housing costs for up to five Young Scholars.
Begun in 2000, the YS Program consistently features some of the most interesting and innovation scholarship at the HES Conference. Students should submit a Young Scholar's Paper Proposal using the link on the Conference Website (http://hes2010.syr.edu/. The deadline for submissions is February 21, 2010.
From the proposal abstracts received, in consultation with the conference organizer, the President (Steven Medema) will create up to 4 thematically linked Young Scholar sessions. Abstracts will be chosen based on originality and scholarly merit as well as clarity of exposition and the strength of the argument. If the President feels there are good abstracts that fail to fit with other YS proposals thematically, he has the option of asking the HES conference organizer to fit the additional Young Scholars into the regular program. All Young Scholars whose abstracts are chosen will receive free registration, a banquet ticket and a year's membership to the Society.
In addition, YS who submit their full paper for consideration by the end of April 2010 will be considered for free conference accommodations. From submitted papers, the HES President may choose up to 5 Young Scholars for free accommodations. A Young Scholar must be a PhD candidate or have obtained the PhD in the 2 years preceding the HES Conference.
