Dear colleagues,

As a collaboration between the Latin American Association for the History of Economic Thought (ALAHPE), the History of Economics Society (HES) and Young Scholars Initiative (YSI), the 3rd History of Economics Winter School in Latin America will take place at the Universidad del Desarrollo, Santiago de Chile, on 12-14 July, 2024, as a pre-HES Conference meeting, which will take place at the same venue on 14-18 July. The topic of the Winter School is “HET research in Latin America: present consolidation and future challenges”.

After two previous Latin American History of Economics Summer Schools (Bogotá, 2015 and Ouro Preto, 2017), the Winter School intends to bring together young scholars interested in expanding their knowledge of the history of economics and in improving their research skills. As the initiative is part of a Latin American effort to strengthen the HET community, the Winter School will emphasize regional and national traditions of economic thought, as well as the interplay between ideas and policy in Latin American countries. The target audience, however, is not supposed to be restricted to the region. Quite the opposite; the objective is to include scholars from many different parts of the world. The same applies to the academic topics to be covered. The idea is to encourage debates not only on Latin American issues in a restricted sense, but on interconnections and processes of dissemination. In other words: on articulations between Latin America and the rest of the world.

To apply, fill in the form before 15 March, 2024:

Limited partial travel stipends and accommodation for both the Winter School and the HES Conference are available upon request. Selected participants are expected to submit an extended abstract (between 2 and 3 pages) of their research project on 15 June, 2024. Besides, participants do have to register as either presenters or audience at the HES Conference (it is a different registration: to present a paper, the deadline is on 1 March, 2024 - more info: https://historyofeconomics.org/2024-santiago/). Both written extended abstracts and oral presentations at the Winter School can be made in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, but visual presentations (such as PPT) must be in English.
