Dear colleagues,
The Politics of Economics networks has, since 2017, brought together researchers from a range of disciplines, backgrounds, and locations, to discuss the dynamics of economic knowledge and expertise. The last two terms were low in events, but we
are organising a final one: a workshop that will be held in Cambridge on the 14th of September 2022.
Paying particular attention to the intertwining of economics’ normative and epistemic import, the network has explored: the contemporary and historical role of economists in policy, the politics within the profession, and the uses of quantification,
socio-economic devices, and models in politics and public life. In this closing workshop, we will take stock of these debates and project their implications forward.
The format is a discussion workshop. We have limited available spots for people to join online or in-person: contact me (
[log in to unmask]) directly if you are interested, as soon as possible and by Friday
2 September, indicating the reasons for your interest and whether you wish to attend in person or online.
All the best,
Cléo
