My but it's been quiet on the HES BBS.
Here's a review of the events aimed at teaching the history of economics
at the annual meeting of the H.E.S. Much of Sunday, June 4, is aimed at
teaching. Throughout the day there will be Poster Sessions on "One Good Idea
for Teaching the History of Economic Thought that I's Like to Share." This
will be set up in the dining area, where all the meals and refreshment breaks
will take place, and the publishers' displays are set up. If you have an
idea for a poster, contact Jerry Evensky at Syracuse University
(e-mail -- [log in to unmask]). During the 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. session,
Murray Wolfson (Cal. State, Fullerton) will give a demonstration of "Using the
Arts as an Aid in Teaching the History of Economic Thought" in the A-V Theater.
During the 10:30 - 12:30 session, we have the "Workshop on the Teaching of the
History of Economic Thought." This will start off with a short presentation by
Jose Cardoso (Portugal), editor of the *European Journal of the H.E.T.*
presenting the results of his "Survey on Teaching H.E.T." The Workshop itself
features some of our best young talent -- Avi Cohen (York University), Brad
Bateman (Grinnell College), Zohreh Emami (Alverno College) and Ross Emmett
(Augustana University College) with Jerry Evensky moderating. The lunch break
will feature an "Open Microphone," for anyone to share "One Good Idea for
Teaching H.E.T."
Bring us your most successful teaching idea, and hopefully, we will all
come away energized by the experience.
Watch this space for more announcements on the special features scheduled
at the 22nd annual meeting of the H.E.S (University of Notre Dame, June 2 - 5,
1995).
REGISTRATION MATERIALS ARE BEING SENT OUT AT THE END OF THIS WEEK.
