> Dear All,

> This is the second announcement for the AHE 2nd Post-Graduate Training Workshop. Please send this announcement to all post-graduate students you know of and to anybody else. Post- graduate students from outside the UK are welcome and encouraged to attend. There will be lectures on causal explanations by Steve Fleetwood, grounded theory by Fred Lee, open systems by Victoria Chick, and qualitative analysis by Wendy Olsen, and more. In addition, Paul Downward will speak about applied econometrics, taking into account the 14 chapters he has for a Routledge edited book on this
> subject. Hopefully there will be draft chapters distributed for discussion. These
> include explicit treatment of economet' at an advanced philosophical level.
> In addition V. Monastiriotis, a geographer/interdisciplinary, will talk about
> multivariate regression, which will cover those who are doing
> cross-sectional statistical analysis and/or who have overlapping causal
> mechanisms represented in their empirical model's equations.

> A Workshop handbook consisting of papers by all the presenters and more will be given - last year it ran to two volumes.
> The workshop will have discussion, Q&A, seminar, and practical components including:
> * specialist applications of advanced statistical skills, notably linking-up a statistics package with interview transcript data;
> * specialist applications of advanced qualitative skills, notably grounded theory and discourse analysis;
> * developing the capacity for originality as well as social worth and policy relevance in economic research, which will in turn have knock-on effects on pedagogy and on the ability to apply the learning that takes place during the PhD.
> * encouraging researchers to work within a context of methodological and theoretical triangulation
> Social theorists, realists, feminists, marxists, post-keynesians, empirical researchers, and all others who consider themselves under the umbrella of heterodoxy are welcome to the workshop. For a list of 650 people who have signed up to a statement favouring heterodoxy over orthodoxy, please see the website of the Post-Autistic Economics Review.
