*** 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.
