Dear Colleague,

Below is a call for participants for the 7th International Post
Keynesian Workshop. The workshop will have two components: as summer
school followed by a conference. Please inform all your graduate
students and young Ph.D.s who are interested in Post Keynesian-heterodox
economics to apply for the summer school. The summer school should be
quite exciting. There will be a further call for papers for the
conference shortly.

 CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS

University of Missouri - Kansas City

The Center for Full Employment and Price Stability

The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics



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!
