Belfast FRESH Meeting 2017
Institutions, Capitalism and Economic History
23 June 2017, Lecture Theatre, Riddel Hall, Queen’s University Belfast
On 23 June 2017, Queen's University Centre for Economic History, Queen's University Belfast, will host a Frontier Research in Economic and Social History (FRESH) meeting. 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 available as a working paper, and certainly before it is published in books or journals. The main aim of the meetings is to gather researchers in a friendly and collegial environment where they can present their research and receive constructive criticism from their peers.
The broad theme of the meeting is “Institutions, Capitalism and Economic History”, but submissions on other topics are also encouraged. The keynote speaker is Avner Offer, Chichele Professor Emeritus of Economic History at the University of Oxford, and co-author (with Gabriel Söderberg) of The Nobel Factor: The Prize in Economics, Social Democracy, and the Market Turn (Princeton University Press, 2016).
The workshop programme is available here.
