The International Confederation of Associations for Pluralism in Economics (ICAPE) announces its first conference on



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 to foster pluralism in the analytical perspectives, methods, policy discourse, and education of professional economists.  Now, ten years on, ICAPE is sponsoring its first conference: on the future of heterodox economics.  The aim of this conference is to think anew about heterodox economics - about who we are, intellectually and institutionally - in light of:

 

· the passing of the Cold War and its rigid dichotomies (market/state, left/right)

· the gradual dissolution of Cold War neoclassicism (centered on Walrasian GE theory)

· the aging and declining membership of many heterodox organizations  

· the youth-driven push for greater pluralism in economics, sparked by the PAE movement

· the increasingly vibrant pluralism displayed in heterodox journals, many of which formerly were devoted to a single school of thought



Our aim is to encourage new dialogues among schools of thought and across generations, especially between our elders (senior scholars who have inspired the revival of heterodox economics over the past 20-30 years) and our youth.  In this way we hope to create new resources - energy, ideas, debates, alliances, projects - for the future of heterodox economics, and indeed of economics itself, internationally.



We seek proposals offering fresh perspectives on heterodox economic theory, policy, and pedagogy at the graduate and undergraduate levels.  We especially welcome efforts to integrate - or to create new conversations among - heretofore separate strands of thought, including (but not limited to) Austrian Economics, Behavioral Economics, Black Political Economy, Ecological Economics, 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 (including 250-word abstract) to Rob Garnett, Department of Economics, Box 298510, Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, TX 76129, or to [log in to unmask]  



Proposal deadline:	November 1, 2002 

Notification date:	December 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.
