The Economic History Workshop (EHW) provides a forum to discuss historical approaches and methodologies to the study of past economic events and phenomena. The workshop features leading scholars in the field of economic history, as well as creates an opportunity for current graduate students to present and receive feedback on works-in-progress, research papers, and dissertation chapters.
This workshop is coordinated by Bianca Centrone, Rebecca Giblon, and Robert Yee, under the direction of Professor Harold James. It is cosponsored by the Julius-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy & Finance.
