The 2017
Doctoral Colloquium in Business History will be held in conjunction with the annual meeting. The workshop, funded by Cambridge University Press, will take place in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday, March 29, and Thursday, March 30, 2017. Typically limited to ten students, the colloquium is open to early-stage doctoral candidates pursuing dissertation research within the broad field of business history, from any relevant discipline. Participants work intensively with a distinguished group of BHC-affiliated scholars (including at least two BHC officers), discussing dissertation proposals, relevant literatures and research strategies, and career trajectories.
Applications are due by
November 15, 2016, via email to
bhc@hagley.org and should include: a statement of interest; CV; preliminary or final dissertation prospectus (10-15 pages); and a letter of support from the dissertation supervisor (or prospective supervisor). Questions about the colloquium should be sent to its director, Edward Balleisen,
eballeis@duke.edu. All participants receive a stipend that partially defrays travel costs to the annual meeting.
