In particular, unless I am mistaken, neither the A or B list of journals contain any journal in the history of economic thought/history of economics. If publishing in such journals is not sufficient to gain the position advertised, then why is the advert being sent to this listserv. In addition, the A classification of journals is all about mainstream economics, while the B classification of journals is, but 3-4 journals, also about mainstream journals. However, many of members of this listserv are much broader/different from the mainstream economics. So this advert may appear discriminatory to them. Finally, this advert supports a paper coming out in the CJE that shows the growing hegemony of mainstream economics in Italian higher education and the consequence discrimination against non-mainstream/heterodox economists. The question is, "does SHOE support this?" > I guess as moderator, I read the post too quickly and assumed that the position would welcome applicants with a history of economics or broader background. Perhaps I should have asked Prof. Parisi if my interpretation was true or not and invited a line or two on this point. Maybe Prof. Parisi can reply to the list and let us know if historians of economics are welcome to apply? Humberto Barreto
