First Call for Session Proposals - XVIIth World Economic History Congress Kyoto (Japan), August 3rd to 7th, 2015
http://www.wehc2015.org/scientificprogramme-call_for_sessions.html
The International Economic History Association (IEHA) will hold its seventeenth World Economic History Congress (WEHC), "Diversity in Development", in Kyoto, Japan from August 3rd to 7th, 2015.
There will be two Calls for Session Proposals: the deadline for the First Call is 1st September 2013. The deadline for the Second Call will be in mid-2014. The IEHA believes that this two-round procedure will allow those wishing to propose broad themes, summaries of a sub-field, or complex organisational arrangements (e.g. pre-conferences, cross-refereeing) two years to plan and organise the session. The two-round procedure will also reserve ample space on the programme for new ideas and fresh topics to be announced a year and a few months before the Congress. In this way it is hoped to strike a reasonable balance between reports on current research and new topics and sessions that require substantial time to organise and prepare.
This is the First Call for Session Proposals.From submissions received before 1st September 2013, the Executive Committee of the IEHA will select a number of proposals to be included in the programme. Given the early date of this first deadline, the Executive Committee does not expect session organisers to present a full panel of participants. Indeed organisers are encouraged to make an open call for papers once their session has been selected for the programme. However, a tentative list of participants should be available for publication on the Congress website before 31st December 2013.
A Second Call for Session Proposals will be issued in October 2013. From submissions received before the deadline of the second round, the Executive Committee of the IEHA will fill all but five of the remaining session slots. The five remaining slots will be filled by the Executive Committee with sessions on topics the committee feels should be on the programme. Organisers of sessions selected in the second round will also be encouraged to publish an open call for papers for their sessions.
There will be no distinction on the programme between sessions submitted in reply to the First or Second Call for Session Proposals. Each session organiser will be given two time blocks and no extra time blocks will be allocated. Time blocks will be consecutive on the same day unless the organisers request an alternative timing.
