----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 
 
June 4 is the deadline for registering for the first HES Workshop to promote Teaching the
History of Economics. After that date, the $50 fee rises to the full conference fee of
$130 for on-site, non-HES member registration. Also, banquet tickets may not be available
after June 4.
 
Don't delay .... register now.  Please forward this note to anyone you think might be
interested. Thanks.
 
 
HES is offering a one-day workshop to promote the undergraduate teaching of the history of
economics. Aimed at those who might consider teaching (or who currently teach) the history
of economic thought, the workshop will highlight the best practices and practitioners in
the field, providing information and resources that will make it much easier to offer a
high-quality (content and pedagogy) course, or to update an existing course. Ideas and
teaching techniques from the workshop can also be applied elsewhere in the undergraduate
curriculum.
 
All faculty are welcome, but we especially encourage those at liberal arts colleges to
attend. The workshop will be held at Duke University on July 6, 2003, in conjunction with
the regular HES Annual Conference (July 4-7).
 
The workshop program is available below and on the conference website. 
 
Workshop registration is only $50, as long as you register before June 4. That price
includes all coffee breaks as well as a complimentary ticket to the HES Banquet on Sunday
night (alone worth $55!).
