Call for papers

Intersections of finance and society

3-4 November 2016 City University London, UK

Recent years have seen a growth in innovative research on finance across the humanities and social sciences. Following on from the success of the ‘social studies of finance’ approach and the new literature on ‘financialisation’, scholars are taking up the challenge of theorising money and finance beyond the conceptual constraints of orthodox economic theory, with different research agendas emerging under various new monikers. This two-day conference aims to bring these approaches into closer dialogue. In particular, it seeks to identify new synergies between heterodox political economy and various sociological, historical, and philosophical perspectives on the intersections of finance and society.

The conference is organised by the journal Finance and Society (with support from the Department of International Politics at City University London), together with the Social Studies of Finance Network at the University of Sydney (with support from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Sydney).

Confirmed keynote speakers:

  • Nigel Dodd (London School of Economics)

  • Elena Esposito (University of Modena-Reggio Emilia)

  • Perry Mehrling (Columbia University)

  • Anastasia Nesvetailova (City University London)

    Confirmed roundtable participants:

  • Lisa Adkins (University of Newcastle Australia)

  • Dick Bryan (University of Sydney)

  • Melinda Cooper (University of Sydney)
