----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- HES is offering a one-day workshop to promote the undergraduate teaching of the history of economics. Aimed at those who might consider teaching (or who currently teach) the history of economic thought, the workshop will highlight the best practices and practitioners in the field, providing information and resources that will make it much easier to offer a high-quality (content and pedagogy) course, or to update an existing course. Ideas and teaching techniques from the workshop can also be applied elsewhere in the undergraduate curriculum. All faculty are welcome, but we especially encourage those at liberal arts colleges to attend. The workshop will be held at Duke University on July 6, 2003, in conjunction with the regular HES Annual Conference (July 4 - 7). The workshop program is now available below and on the conference website (http://www.eh.net/HE/HisEcSoc/carchive/HES2003/). Workshop registration is only $50, as long as you register before June 4. That price includes all coffee breaks as well as a complimentary ticket to the HES Banquet on Sunday night (alone worth $55!). Go to the Duke University Conference Center registration website for HES 2003 (available at http://www.eh.net/HE/HisEcSoc/carchive/HES2003/registration.shtml), and register as a student.
