CALL FOR PAPERS
The Future of Business History: A Conference to Consider Ideas and
Approaches
Sponsored by
The Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society
Hagley Museum and Library
On April 4 and 5, 1997, the Center for the History of Business,
Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library will sponsor a
conference on the future of business history.
We have called this conference to bring together scholars concerned with
the future of this field and interested in new directions for the study
of business and American life. Over the past few years, discussions
relating to the direction of business history have surfaced at Business
History conferences and other venues. Historians of business have begun
to consider the development of business history beyond the organizational
synthesis. At the same time, there has been a growth of research
initiatives by scholars not primarily identified as business historians, on the
relationship between firms and culture, race, gender, and ethnicity.
We intend this conference to provide a setting for thorough consideration
of these issues.
We invite research papers which employ fresh conceptualizations or
methodologies on topics concerning business and American life, as well as
thoughtful essays which reflect broadly on the future of the field of
business history. Some funds to support travel by presenters will be
available.
Send proposals by November 1, 1996 for individual papers or panels to Dr.
Roger Horowitz, Hagley Museum and Library, PO Box 3630, Wilmington, DE
19807, of by fax to 302-655-3188. For more information call 302-658-2400
or email rh@udel.edu.
