I think the pdf attachment didn't go through. Let's see if a WordDoc 
works...but just in case, I pasted it below, too.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Appalachian Spring: Tenth Annual Conference in World History and Economics
This conference is an interdisciplinary meeting aimed at bringing 
together scholars from
Appalachian State University (Boone, NC) with scholars from other 
universities in North
Carolina, the surrounding states, and abroad. We have already hosted 
nine of these
meetings in the past, which have been very successful. Our past keynote 
speakers have
included Philip Hoffman, John Wallis, Jeremy Black, Peter Lindert, and 
Price Fishback.
This year’s speaker will be Dr. Deirdre McCloskey, a Distinguished 
Professor of
Economics, History, English, and Communication, University of Illinois 
at Chicago. She
is a world-renowned scholar of economic history and the history of 
capitalism. We will
also feature several panels with scholarly papers, divided among 
different topical themes,
including an undergraduate and a graduate panel. This year’s theme will 
be History and
Nature of Capitalism. The paper or panel proposals do not have to be 
directly tied to the
conference theme, although papers fitting with the theme will be given 
special
consideration.
The conference will take place on April 10-11, 2015, on the Appalachian 
State
University campus, Boone, in the beautiful North Carolina mountains. 
Those interested in
participating should let the organizers know by February 10, 2015. A 
one-page abstract
describing the scholar’s proposal should be submitted to the organizers 
by that date. A
full paper will be expected by the organizers by March 10, 2015. There 
is only a modest
registration fee (regular: $75; (graduate) students: $30; ASU faculty 
and students: free).
The organizers cannot provide funding for accommodations or travel 
expenses. We offer
meals to the participants during the meeting at reduced cost in addition 
to the registration
fee.
