The next meeting of the Economic History Association will be in
September 1995 in Berkeley. The Association is trying very hard to reach
out to historians and to encourage them to participate. This year's
theme, as you can see below, is Comparative History. The program
committee is hoping that this theme will attract historians working with
a broad range of methodologies (not solely mathemetical models) and
interests. Some of the possible panel ideas that have surfaced include
women's history, consumer culture and economic practices. Clearly, these
are topics that can be treated with a range of methods - such as
the cultural, political, ideological and sociological theories that have
been important in recent historical work. It would be wonderful if some
truly interdisciplinary panels emerged to treat topics this year, and I
encourage you to think about sending a panel proposal. If you are in the
Bay area, you might wish to come by for a session or two.

In addition, grad students should take note of the dissertation prizes.
They are lucrative and the Economic History Association takes graduate
training seriously. They will be sponsoring reduced-price meals and
lodging during the conference for graduate students.

Please give this announcement a read, and help spread the word. I hope
to see some of you in Berkeley next fall.

Thank you very much -
