BHC Dissertation colloquium reminder

The Business History Conference is continuing to accept applications for its Newcomen Dissertation Colloquium that will be held in conjunction with the 2008 BHC annual meeting. This intensive workshop, sponsored by the BHC through the generous support of the Newcomen Society of the United States, will take place at the conference venue Wednesday afternoon and evening, April 9, and Thursday morning, April 10. Participants will work closely with a small, distinguished group of BHC-affiliated scholars, including at least two of its officers. The assembled scholars and students will review dissertation proposals, consider relevant literatures andresearch strategies, and discuss the business history profession.
Limited to ten students, it is intended for doctoral candidates in the early stages of their dissertation projects. Those interested in participating should submit to Roger Horowitz, BHC Secretary-Treasurer (rh@udel.edu), a statement of interest, a preliminary or final dissertation prospectus, and a CV. Please make clear that you are interested in the Dissertation Colloquium. One recommendation from the dissertation supervisor (or prospective supervisor) should also be faxed (302-655-3188) or emailed to Roger Horowitz by December 15, 2007. The review committee will notify all applicants of its decisions by February 1st. A grant from the Newcomen Society of the United States will provide each participant with a $400US honorarium.
