The second enquirer (a final year UG student in history and 
philosophy of science who will be starting an MSc in Economic History 
in October 09) is looking for a summer school offering an 
introductory programme in history of economic thought aimed at 
graduate students, rather than specialised seminars for 
near-completion PhD students, or an institution offering summer 
research internships in the history of economic thought.

Bruce Caldwell replies:

Though our program will not be up and running in time to help your 
student, I wanted you and the list to know that the newly founded 
Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University 
(www.econ.duke.edu/CHOPE) is in the process of developing summer 
programming that will provide such courses. For 2010 we have 
submitted a grant proposal to the National Endowment for the 
Humanities that, if successful, will bring 25 faculty members from US 
colleges and universities to Duke for an intensive three week 
introduction to the history of economic thought, with the hope that 
they will go back to their home institutions prepared to develop a 
course in the field or to integrate insights from the history of 
thought into other courses that they teach. In future years we would 
like to develop summer programming aimed at PhD students in 
economics. There may also be opportunities for PhD students to spend 
the summer working in the Economists' Papers Project, the extensive 
archival collection that is housed at Duke. We will keep the members 
of the list informed as these  plans develop.
