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.
