Belfast Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting - Call for papers

Belfast Future Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) Meeting
Theme: All topics are welcome, but submissions on banking and financial history are encouraged
Date: 23 April 2010
Venue: Queen's University Belfast
FRESH meetings are aimed at researchers in any field of economic and social history. The meetings build on the concept that scholars present their ongoing research at an early stage, i.e. normally before it becomes published as a working paper or the like, and certainly before it is published in books or journals. The main aim of the meetings is to gather researchers in a friendly and non-imposing environment where they can present their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers.
The FRESH meeting organisers strive to accommodate as many speakers as possible. Accepted papers will normally receive 30 minutes each (20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion). However, in the interest of avoiding parallel sessions, the presentation time may be shortened. In the event of space constraints, please note that FRESH members and members of the hosting faculty (or geographically close institutions) will be given preference.
The organizers offer lunch, dinner and other refreshments on the day of the meeting, but accommodation and travel must be covered by the participants themselves. Also, there will be a registration fee for this meeting of 70 EUR payable on acceptance of your submission. Prospective speakers should submit a one-page abstract and a short CV to Jacob Weisdorf (email: jacob.weisdorf@econ.ku.dk) no later than 1 March 2010. Notification of acceptance will be given by the middle of March 2010.
The Belfast FRESH meeting is organized by John Turner (local organizer), Paul Sharp and Jacob Weisdorf.
