| Dinner at Café du Soleil, Canterbury |
The Kent
FRESH meeting took place on June 5, 2014 at the University of Kent in
Canterbury, UK. The day started with a fascinating keynote lecture given by
Patrick Wallis from the LSE on the subject of apprenticeship in early modern
England. He was followed by nine excellent presentations, and as is usual at
FRESH meetings there was plenty of valuable discussion for each paper. We
enjoyed three great graduate student presentations including Pawel Bukowski at
CEU Budapest. He demonstrated convincingly how the historical division of
Poland into Prussian, Russian, and Austrian regions has had a long term impact
on education in that country today. Meng Wu of the LSE outlined an ambitious
research program looking at Chinese savings banks, and Oisin Gilmore of
Groningen described an early draft of an investigation of the determinants of
postwar growth patterns. The day finished with a delicious meal at ‘Café du
Soleil’.
