A fifth colloquium is scheduled for 14 - 16 June 2012. All meetings will be held in the Halifax Citadel (in room Casemate 26). Further details will be posted here as soon as they become available.
Like its predecessors, the 2012 Colloquium will be designed to encourage scholarly interaction in both formal and informal ways. In each of the sessions, only a small amount of time will be allotted to the presenters for their introductory remarks (since it will be assumed that all participants have read the relevant papers in advance). The emphasis will be instead upon discussion and debate. There is room for participants who don't plan to present a paper but who are knowledgeable in some aspect of the financial revolution and keen to contribute to the discussion. All participants will be expected to attend the group lunches and dinners (the costs of which, excluding alcohol, will be covered entirely by the organizers). At previous colloquiua, post-dinner discussions lasted long into the evening. Travel subsidies to a maximum of $500 US will be provided for presenters who are graduate students or are as yet without an established academic position.
Organizers for the colloquium will be Chris Fauske (Department of Communications, Salem State College), Rick Kleer (Department of Economics, University of Regina), and Ivar McGrath (School of History and Archives, University College Dublin).
