2007 Cliometrics Conference
Call for Papers
The annual Cliometrics Conference in 2007 will be held on the weekend of Friday May 18th through Sunday May 20th at the Westward Look Resort in Tucson, Arizona. The conference will be hosted by the University of Arizona. Funding for the conference is being provided by the National Science Foundation and the University of Arizona.
The conference is designed to provide extensive discussion of new and innovative research in economic history. Typically, twelve papers are selected for presentation and discussion. These are sent out to all conference participants in advance. In the session devoted to each paper, authors make a 5-minute opening statement and the rest of the session is devoted to discussion by all conference participants. All participants are required to attend the entire conference.
The application period for paper proposals and requests to attend the conference starts on January 2, 2007 and ends on Thursday, February 1st, 2007. We can only invite a limited number of participants, so it is important to be prompt. Those wishing to present a paper should provide a 3-5 page summary of the proposed paper. In choosing papers and participants, priority will be given to those who have not attended recently or have never attended. Graduate students wishing to attend should submit a paper proposal and obtain a letter of recommendation from their dissertation advisor. Paper presenters and those wishing to attend the conference should provide their addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email addresses.
Those presenting papers will be notified by Friday, March 2, 2007 and are expected to provide a completed draft of the paper in the proper format for the conference volume by Wednesday, April 4, 2007. We prefer that applicants submit their materials using the application form under the Cliometrics Conference listing at the EH.Net website, at: http://www.eh.net/Clio/Conferences/prop07.html.
