Dear Colleagues,
This is a big e-mail about some interesting economic conferences to be
held over the next 18 months. The common theme of these conferences is
that they are directed at building and developing an integrated
heterodox economics--in terms of theory/applied work/etc. and in terms
of community.
The first Conference is the POST KEYNESIAN WORKSHOP which is being held
at UMKC over the period of June 17 to July 3, 2002. It is divided into
two parts. The first is the POST KEYNESIAN WORKSHOP SUMMER SCHOOL
(which is for the period of June 17 to June 28, 2002) for graduate
students and newly minted Ph.D.s; and the second is the POST KEYNESIAN
WORKSHOP (which is for the period of June 29 to July 3, 2002) whose
theme is recession and globalization (with some attention paid to the
micro foundations of macroeconomic policy--just a plug for my own
interests).
The second conference is the ASSOCIATION FOR HETERODOX ECONOMICS which
is being held in Dublin, Ireland on July 9-10, 2002. It is open to any
papers on heterodox economics, thus making it really interesting for all
heterodox economists; and besides that Dublin is really a nice city and
I understand that the beer is good as well.
The third conference is on the HISTORY OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS IN THE
20TH CENTURY which is being held at UMKC on October 3-5, 2002. This
conference is designed to uncover and illuminate the history of
heterodox economics.
The final conference is being put on by the INTERNATIONAL CONFEDERATION
OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR PLURALISM IN ECONOMICS (ICAPE) and is being held at
UMKC on June 5-7, 2003. Its theme is THE FUTURE OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS
and is open to any and all heterodox economists.
The CALL FOR PAPERS and other information about the conferences are
given below. And if you like to look at nice colored presentations of
the same material see the attachments for the PKW and ICAPE conferences.
I hope you find this conference information of interest and I hope that
you can participate in at least one of these conferences.
Sincerely,
Fred Lee

are pleased to host
THE SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL POST KEYNESIAN WORKSHOP
SUMMER SCHOOL: JUNE 17 - 28, 2002
CONFERENCE: JUNE 29 - JULY 3, 2002
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI
As students around the world have awakened to the empty promise of
mainstream economic curricula, the University of Missouri of Kansas
City, the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics, and the Center for Full
Employment and Price Stability have stepped up to the challenge to offer
a summer school program that provides an alternative. The School will
provide a rigorous training in both the theoretical and applied aspects
of Post Keynesian economic theory. It will also deal with meaningful
prescriptive policies relevant to REAL WORLD phenomena and, in the
spirit of pluralism, will provide a forum for intellectual discourse
that spans a variety of disciplines.
The program is being organized by Professors Paul Davidson and Jan
Kregel.
The Summer School
Admission is open to graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s. The Center
for Full Employment and Price Stability (C-FEPS) has offered to provide
a number of scholarships that will cover student tuition fees and room
and board.
C-FEPS will also will make available a number of travel stipends that
will cover a portion of the costs of travel to and from the workshop, if
participants take advantage of advance airfare bookings.
SUMMER SCHOOL APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Applicants should send four copies of:
1) Their CV,
2) 1-2 page statement of what each student hopes to get out of the Post
Keynesian Summer School, and
3) a statement indicating familiarity with heterodox and Post Keynesian
economics.
These materials will serve as the application for both the summer school
and for the travel stipends. In addition, student will have the
opportunity to attend the Post Keynesian Conference, immediately
following the Summer School (at a reduced cost).
Please, send the materials to Pavlina R. Tcherneva at the address below.
A committee of representatives of the Journal of Post Keynesian
Economics and UMKC's Economics Department will screen all applicants and
notify participants no later than March 15, 2002.
SUMMER SCHOOL APPLICATION SUBMISSION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 15, 2002
The Conference
The Seventh International Post Keynesian Workshop will conclude with a
four day conference, organized by Professors Paul Davidson and Jan
Kregel. The format, theme, and topics will be similar to those of the
previous six Post Keynesian workshops held in Knoxville. More details
will be forthcoming very soon. Abstracts of paper proposals will be due
March 1, 2002, and should be sent to Pavlina Tcherneva at the address
below.
In 2001 UMKC hosted the Association For Evolutionary Economics summer
school. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we are working to
make the Post Keynesian Workshop in 2002 a similarly successful event.
We look forward to your participation and are convinced that you will
find UMKC and Kansas City (with its world class jazz and R&B) quite an
enjoyable place!

HISTORY OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS
CALL FOR PAPERS
CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS IN THE 20TH CENTURY
Date: 3 - 5 October 2002
Place: Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and Technology
adjacent to
University of Missouri-Kansas City
Kansas City, Missouri
United States
In the last 15 years, economists have started to distinguish between the
history of economics and history of economic theory--that is, roughly,
between the intellectual history and the social history of economics.
Consequently, there have been an increasing number of books and articles
on the history of economics in various universities and the history of
mainstream economic associations. On the other hand, very little has
been written about the history of heterodox economics. In fact most
mainstream economists who work in the area of the history of economics
do not believe that such a history is at all interesting. Rather they
see heterodox economics as simply a reaction to but still tied to
neoclassical economics with no independent life of its own. To suggest
otherwise is to upset their world view of economics and supremacy of
neoclassical economic theory. This conference aims to challenge this
view by showing that there is a separate history of heterodox economics.
Proposals on any aspect of the history of heterodox economics in the
20th century are invited. By heterodox economics, we mean Marxism,
institutionalism, Social Economics, Post Keynesian Economics, Sraffian
Economics, Feminist Economics, Georgist Economics, Evolutionary
Economics, Historical Economics, and Austrian Economics. Suggested
topics for papers include but are not restricted to:
1. the history of college and university economic departments vis-a-vis
the teaching of heterodox economic theory.
2. history of heterodox academic and non-academic economic journals.
3. history of heterodox economic associations and other kinds of
communities and groups of academic and non-academic heterodox
economists.
4. discrimination against the hiring and retaining of heterodox
economists at academic institutions as well as at government and other
non-academic organizations.
5. discrimination against the publishing of heterodox papers and books.
6. the use of state power to silence heterodox economic views and
heterodox economists, such as McCarthyism in the United States, military
regimes in Latin America, and the suppression of dissendents in
Stalinist Eastern Europe and in China.
7. biographical histories of well-known and not-so-well-known heterodox
economists and their contributions towards building a community of
heterodox economists.
8. the teaching of Marxism, Georgist Economics, and other heterodox
economics to workers and the general public at schools and institutes
outside of colleges and universities.
9. the role of historical events in promoting interest in heterodox
economics and the establishing communities and groups of heterodox
economics--such as the rise of the New Left, Vietnam War, and the Great
Depression.
10. discrimination and sectarian behavior within heterodox economics and
its impact on developing a community of heterodox economists.

INTERNATIONAL CONFEDERATION OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR PLURALISM IN ECONOMICS
ICAPE Call for Papers
THE FUTURE OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS
5 - 7 June 2003
University of Missouri at Kansas City, USA
Founded in 1993, ICAPE is a consortium of 40 organizations working
cooperatively to foster pluralism in the analytical perspectives,
methods, policy discourse, and education of professional economists.
Now, almost ten years on, ICAPE is sponsoring its first conference: on
the future of heterodox economics around the world.
This conference will afford unique opportunities for dialogue among
diverse schools of thought and across intellectual generations: among
our "elders" (senior scholars who have inspired the revival of heterodox
economics over the past 20-30 years), our "youth" (innovative younger
scholars, including those associated with the Post-Autistic Economics
movement and the authors of the open letters issued recently from
Cambridge University and the AFEE Summer School), and many others in
between. In all, the purpose of this conference is to create new
resources - energy, ideas, debates, alliances, and projects - for the
future of heterodox economics, and indeed of economics itself,
internationally.
We seek proposals offering fresh perspectives on heterodox economic
theory, economic policy, and economic pedagogy at the graduate and
undergraduate levels. We especially encourage efforts to integrate
heretofore separate strands of thought, including (but not limited to)
Austrian Economics, Black Political Economy, Evolutionary Economics,
Feminist Economics, Georgist Economics, Historical Economics,
Institutionalism, Marxism, Post Keynesian Economics, Postmodern
Economics, Postcolonial Economics, Social Economics, and Sraffian
Economics.
Please send proposals to Rob Garnett, Department of Economics, Box
298510, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX 76129, or to
[log in to unmask] Each proposal must include:
· paper title and 250-word abstract
· author's name and mailing address
· author's ICAPE affiliation, if any (see list of associated
organizations below)
Proposal deadline: October 1, 2002
Notification date: November 15, 2002
The conference fee is $120 (including lunches, tea/coffee/juice, and a
conference dinner) and is payable upon acceptance of your proposal. No
fee is required to submit a proposal.
