The following may be of interest to PhD students whose topics fall into the very broad definition of 'business history' as outlined in the notice.





Association of Business Historians: New Tony Slaven doctoral workshop

in business history



This year ABH is holdings its first doctoral training workshop. This

will take place on 5th-6th July, immediately preceding the 2012 ABH

Annual Conference at Aston Business School. Participants will also be

welcome to attend the Annual Conference. We very much hope that this

will become an annual event and will provide an opportunity for

doctoral students to discuss their research with other research

students in business history-related disciplines in an informal

environment.



The workshop is open to all students undertaking research degrees in

business history-related topics and it is hoped that both students in

their initial year of registration and those at more advanced stages

of their thesis research will find it of benefit. In addition to

providing new researchers with an opportunity to discuss their work

with other research students in the same discipline, the workshop will

also include a session related to careers. Business history doctoral

work is spread over a large number of departments and institutions and

by bringing students from throughout the UK together for an annual

workshop, we hope to strengthen links between students working on

business history - related topics.



For the purposes of the workshop `business history’ is interpreted

broadly, and it is intended that students in areas such as financial

history, agricultural history, not for profit organisations,

government-industry relations, government policy towards trade and

industry, the history of international trade and investment,

accounting history, social studies of technology, and labour history

will find it of interest. Students undertaking topics with a

significant business history related element but in disciplines other

than economic and business history are also welcome. A limited number

of Tony Slaven scholarships are available, to contribute towards the

travel, accommodation, and registration costs of attending the

doctoral workshop and ABH conference. These will be awarded

competitively prior to the workshop.

First year students would be expected to present an overview of their

research (with around 20-30 minutes for the presentation and a roughly

equal time for discussion). Those at a more advanced stage of their

thesis might wish to present a draft chapter, or focus on one

particular section of their thesis. Participants would also be

expected to act as discussant for one of the other papers to be

presented.



Students interested in attending the workshop and those wishing to

apply for the Tony Slaven scholarship (for both the workshop and the

ABH conference) should contact Prof. Peter Scott, IBS, Henley Business

School at the University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, RG6 6UD

([log in to unmask]). The application should comprise a short cv

and an abstract (maximum four A4 sides of single-spaced typed text).

This should include the names of the student’s supervisors; the title

of their thesis; the university and department where they are

registered; the date of commencement of their thesis registration, and

an outline of their research. Students in their first year of

registration may wish to focus on their thesis literature review and

research plan. Students in subsequent years may also want to discuss

one particular chapter or section of their thesis that they would like

to present at the workshop.



 For full consideration, applications should be submitted prior to

15th May 2012. For further information, please contact Peter Scott at

the above e-mail address.
