Dear colleagues,
  We hope this message finds you well.
  After very successful rounds of a series of workshops in the last three years, we are now running its fourth edition and we are here to invite you all to participate of its fifth session. The JHET Online Writing Workshops are conducted by Paul Dudenhefer, who has been for many years the managing editor of History of Political Economy (HOPE) and has a vast experience with helping economics students improve their academic writing.
  Although difficulties with writing is not exclusive to non-native English speakers, the fact that the history of economics is a very international community makes language barriers a significant factor behind the heterogeneous representation of the works by historians written in English.
  In order to help both non-native and native English speakers improve their writing and presentation skills, JHET is offering these workshops free of charge to anyone interested. We will give priority to early-career scholars (graduate students or those who graduated in the last 5 years) but aim to have a diverse group of participants. The meeting takes place through Zoom.
  The fifth meeting of this year will take place on Oct. 10 (Tuesday), 2023, from 10AM to 11AM EDT time (UTC-4; New York time), and its topic is described below.
  This year we added a new feature to these workshops. Members of the History of Economics Society can apply for an individual 30min tutorial with Paul to discuss a writing sample by her. Two of such sessions will follow the one-hour plenary session.
