----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 
As I indicated in a February 12 posting, the HES is forming three committees to initiate
new programs to enhance the Society and history of economics. The members of the
committees and their charges are listed below. We invite suggestions and ideas, which may
be sent directly to the committee chairs.
 
Dan Hammond 
President, HES 
 
************ 
 
Undergraduate Teaching Committee 
Chair, Avi Cohen ([log in to unmask]), Jerry Evensky, Sherry Kasper 
 
Charge: Organize an annual one-day workshop that will be useful for those who teach
undergraduate history of economic thought courses but who may not regularly attend HES
meetings. The workshops will be held in conjunction with the Society's annual meetings for
the next three years (2003 - 2005). The committee will report to the Society at the
Society's Executive Committee meeting in January 2005 regarding the success of the
workshops and make a recommendation regarding extending the workshops beyond the 2005
Society meeting.
 
Graduate Education Committee 
Chair, Bruce Elmslie ([log in to unmask]), Jeff Biddle, Peter Boettke, Michel De Vroey,
Shauna Saunders.
 
Charge: Part A -- Create a proposal for an annual four- to six-week summer seminar course
for graduate students or those in post-doctoral positions. The committee will report to
the Society's Executive Committee at its January 2003 meeting with a plan for a summer
seminar to start in summer 2004. The committee is encouraged to consult with the European
Society for the History of Economic Thought regarding inter-continental collaboration.
 
Part B -- Investigate the possibility of collaborative graduate courses or programs in the
history (and philosophy) of economics. The committee will report on the prospect of
collaborative courses/programs at the Executive Committee meeting during the Society's
annual meeting in 2003.
 
Electronic History Committee 
Chair, Ross Emmett ([log in to unmask]), Duncan Foley, Matthias Klaes. 
 
Charge: Part A -- Create a strategic plan for providing and coordinating internet
resources in the history of economics. The plan, including proposals for action, will be
submitted to the Executive Committee at the 2003 Society meeting.
 
Part B -- Approach the Executive Committee of the American Economic Association regarding
the possibility of sponsoring jointly a digital project on the history of American
economics, initially focused on the history of the AEA.
