*** Call for Proposals *** 
Rhetoric and Economics: An Interdisciplinary Conference 
Millikin University, Decatur, Illinois 
June 6 - 9, 2005 
 
The twentieth anniversary of Deirdre McCloskey's The Rhetoric of Economics 
offers an opportunity for both rhetoric and economics scholars to assess 
the status of McCloskey's claims and the potential for interaction between 
the two disciplines.  The conference's aim is to provoke conversations 
both within each disciplinary framework -- rhetoricians talking to 
rhetoricians, and economists to economists -- and between the disciplines, 
to explore what each might learn from the other. 
 
The online submission and preliminary registration process is open until 
January 31, 2005.
