Fifth Summer Institute for  
the Preservation of the Study of the  
History of Economics in Economics 
 
Call for Participation  
 
The Summer Institute, now in its fifth year, is an attempt to reverse the decline in
professional interest in the history of economics by offering a forum for students, both
at George Mason University and elsewhere, to present a history of thought chapter of their
dissertation to a competent audience and a chance for scattered workers in the field to
present work in progress.
 
This summer the meetings will be Monday 26 July through Friday 30 July at George Mason
University in Fairfax VA. Sandra Peart will join David Levy as codirector. We invite
proposals on any topics. We are attempting to organize sessions of two or more papers on
the following: Proverbs & Experts; Sympathy, Approbation & Imagery; Biological Influences
in Post-Classical Economics; Robbins & Hayek; and The Dialogue between Economics &
Theology.
 
Thanks to the generosity of the Earhart Foundation and the Economics Department,
participation will be rewarded in vector fashion, money, coffee, bagels, pizza &c. There
will be at least one evening dinner meeting.
 
Students who wish to attend are encouraged to apply. Last summer we were able to assist
with travel expenses for all the students who applied. There are dorm rooms at George
Mason available at remarkably reasonable rates which feature truly effective air-
conditioning.
