Dear members of the SHOElist,

IX LATIN AMERICAN SOCIETY OF THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT CONFERENCE ALAHPE- 2023

Researching and teaching the history of economic thought in the face of the recent changes in economics and society

Universidad de Antioquia

Medellín November 16, 17 and 18, 2023

Local organizer: Alexander Tobón

The Ninth Latin American Congress of History of Economic Thought will bring together historians of economic thought with the purpose of discussing the theoretical problems, methods, controversies, and historical contexts that explain the evolution of the economic discipline and its place in society.

This academic space seeks to broaden the spectrum of research topics in the history of economic thought. The aim is to promote new approaches, perspectives, methods and bibliographic sources, which in turn favor the growth of networks of researchers and has a greater incidence of their production in the media of scientific dissemination.

This space also seeks to contribute to the revitalization of teaching in the history of economic thought in undergraduate and graduate studies, so that new generations of professionals can continue to take advantage of the enormous intellectual wealth of this area of university education.

The conference wishes in particular to receive proposals on the following topics:

The teaching of the history of economic thought (syllabus, digital education platforms, manuals).
The current state of economics discipline from the perspective of the history of economic thought.
The history of economic thought from a gender perspective.
The contribution of the new generation of historians of economic thought.
History of the relations between economics and political regimes.
Relationship between historians of economics and historians of other sciences.
Evolution of the boundaries between economics and other disciplines (sociology, anthropology, political science, law, physics, psychology).
Economic thinking (ideas, practices and institutions) facing problems such as climate change, inequality, degrowth, etc. in the history.
Making history of economic thought in the digital era.
Political activism and history of economic thought.

As in previous ALAHPE conferences, papers addressing any other topics, episodes and periods covered by the history of the discipline and related topics are also welcome.
