From the Editor
The 4th issue of the Heterodox Economics Newsletter has some old calls
for papers, in particular the Conference on Radical Economics in the
20th Century and the Association for Heterodox Economics 2005 Conference
on Pluralism in Economics. Some of the new calls for papers include the
10th Karl Polanyi Conference that is taking place in Turkey at the home
university of my assistant-so it must be a great location for a
conference. Other new calls for papers include the Economics Rights
Conference, an 'After Financial Deregulation' Conference, Australian
History of Economic Thought Conference, and the Economic Theory and
Policy conference located in the Basque country. There is also an
announcement of the AHE 4th ESRC funded post-graduate workshop on
advanced research methods. The workshop is the best and the only one of
its kind in the world for heterodox post-graduate students. Not only do
students get a critical understanding of econometrics, they also get
introduced to various kinds of qualitative research methods and uses of
qualitative/quantitative methods for theory creation. This workshop is
the frontier for research methods for heterodox economists. If you want
your post-graduate students to do something more than mindlessly crank
out econometric results, if you want your students to build a better
heterodox theory, then send them to the workshop as it is the future of
heterodox economics. While the workshop is designed for UK post-graduate
students, it is in fact open to any and all students from around the
world. There are a couple of new job postings from the University of
Nevada at Reno and Hamburg University of Economics and Politics. This
latter position involves a Marie Curie Chair for European Studies in
heterodox economics. Check it out of you would like to spend 3 years in
Germany doing some really interesting research. Finally, the Newsletter
lists a new heterodox association - Centre for Alternative Economic
Policy Research, and the 2004 Keynes Lecture at the British Academy,
which is a bit neoclassical but you can hear it online. So if you have
not heard a Keynes Lecture, now is your chance.
