Call for papers: 10th Anniversary Conference of the Association for Heterodox Economics
4-6 July, 2008
Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge
The Tenth Anniversary Conference of the Association of Heterodox
Economics (AHE) will be held at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge from
Friday 4th to Sunday 6th July 2008.
In ten years the AHE has established a reputation as a major national
and international forum for the discussion of alternatives to mainstream
economics, and for the interdisciplinary and pluralistic nature of its
discussions. In this anniversary year we particularly encourage
submissions on
(1) the state of economic heterodoxy and pluralism, and the relation
between them
(2) experiences and difficulties in teaching heterodox and pluralist
economics
(3) environmental and ecological economics
The conference invites submissions of single papers or sessions which
conform to these aims, or address other issues in the social sciences
from standpoints which differ from or critically examine the economic
mainstream. A feature of the AHE is as a pluralist forum for dialogue,
and we encourage proposals for sessions which address a single issue or
theme from a variety of viewpoints or disciplines.
The international character of the conference has been a vital factor in
its growing success. Scholars requiring documentation in support of visa
or funding applications should indicate this in their initial
submission. At present the AHE regrets that it has no funds to provide
financial support, but is actively seeking it and welcomes proposals
from participants regarding organizations for the AHE contact in search
of support for participants from outside the US and European Union.
To facilitate dialogue and timetabling, participants whose initial
submission is successful must provide a full paper by the deadline of
Sunday 20th April. They should also register by Sunday May 18th, and
will be expected to take part in at least two full days of the
conference, in order to be included in the final programme. Participants
should also be prepared to serve as discussants and/or session chairs.
This year poster sessions will also be organized for postgraduate or
postdoctoral students who would like to discuss their work with others
but are not yet in a position to provide a full paper.
The conference language is English.
Guidelines for submission
This year there will be two types of session, normal sessions and poster
sessions. Normal sessions will be 90 minutes long and will usually
consist of two papers with at least one discussant. Arrangements for
poster sessions, which are intended to encourage new work by
postgraduate or postdoctoral students, will depend on the number of
submissions and will be announced nearer the date of conference.
Proposals for single papers: please send an abstract of not more than
500 words by email only to the local organiser, Ioana Negru
([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ), AND the AHE coordinator, Alan Freeman
([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ). Text, HTML, Word and PDF format attachments are
acceptable. Please indicate in your submission whether your paper is
intended for a normal or poster session.
Proposals for complete sessions: please send a description of the
session of not more than 500 words together with the names and email
addresses of the proposed speakers, and attaching abstracts for their
presentations of not more than 500 words each for each paper. Please
send these by email only to Ioana Negru and Alan Freeman, as above.
Deadlines
Proposals for either single papers or complete sessions should be
received by Sunday 27th January.
The AHE Committee will consider all abstracts and will notify you of
acceptance or rejection of your proposal by Monday 11th February 2008.
Those whose abstracts have been accepted for a normal session must send
their full paper by Sunday 20th April 2008 and must register, for a
minimum of two days of the conference, by Sunday 18th May 2008.
