BETHANY - Bethany College will offer an online economics history workshop starting next week.
Aaron M. Honsowetz, an assistant professor of economics at the college, is facilitating the online economic history workshop with Newport University Assistant Professor of American Studies Frank Garmon.
The inaugural workshop is July 28-29. The workshop will livestream on YouTube and the workshop's website, www.oehw.org. The theme of the inaugural workshop is "Responding to Crisis."
"I want to help keep research in economic history moving forward by starting an annual conference built to be online," Honsowetz said. "With various travel restrictions placed on researchers, many traditional conferences and workshops where researchers get feedback on their work are either canceled, delayed or trying to temporarily transition to being online."
The online economic history workshop is an opportunity for anyone to see people working on the cutting edge of economic history. A single panel is lives-streamed each day starting at noon.
The theme of the following workshop on July 29 is "Labor Markets in Crisis."
Questions can be sent to the presenters during the panel on Twitter using the hashtag #OEHW2020.
