Pluralism in Action

Introduction

The Association for Heterodox Economics is a learned society which promotes economics and economists from so-called heterodox schools of thought. The conference provides a forum for economists of a pluralist view to explore areas of interest to them in a sympathetic environment.

Past conferences of the Association have focused on particular themes and more recently the dominant concern has been with promoting pluralism. This year's conference appealed for contributions which display pluralism in action. By that is meant a number of different possibilities. Papers may be pluralist in themselves; or sessions may be, promoting debate between or within theoretical perspectives on specific areas of interest.

The conference will comprise sessions which present papers that demonstrate the conference theme plus two small streams on other specialist topics. All sessions are 90 minutes long and most comprise two papers. This design means that in contrast to many conferences, speakers get extended time to present their work.
