Emerging Scholars
Emerging Scholars
The Emerging Scholars Committee (ESC) of the Business History Conference focuses on introducing junior scholars to the possibilities for researching and teaching in the field of business history. The committee works to integrate new talent into the BHC community.
The ESC prior to each annual meeting invites junior scholars to the various events that provide a space for engaging with business history and meeting members of the BHC community. These events include a mentoring program ahead of the annual meeting and an evening reception at the conference, both of which are opportunities for new scholars to network with BHC-affiliated members with a wide range of experiences within the field. Following the conference the committee also follows up with attendees to gauge their experience in order to improve future events and to continue to expand the network of historians of business.
The ESC committee organized both an in-person networking reception at the Detroit conference and a virtual mentoring program that paired emerging scholars with established community members based on shared research interests and professional goals. Learn more about it here.
