The 12th annual Summer Institute for the Preservation of the Historyof Economics
The 12th annual Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of Economics will be held at the University of Richmond, June 24-27, 2011. The Institute offers a forum for graduate students and distinguished scholars to present work in progress or more polished papers to a lively audience. Our mission is to help young scholars connect in a workshop setting with young and eminent scholars in the field. Past speakers include Brad Bateman, Mauro Boianovsky, Marcel Boumans, James Buchanan, Dave Colander, Evelyn Forget, Dan Hammond, Samuel Hollander, Kevin Hoover, M. Ali Khan, Anthony Laden, David Levy, Deirdre McCloskey, Steve Medema, Phil Mirowski, Leon Montes, Mary Morgan, Maria Pia Paganelli, Sandra Peart, Malcolm Rutherford, Warren Samuels, Eric Schliesser, Gordon Tullock, Anthony Waterman, and Roy Weintraub. For the 2011 session, we invite proposals on any topic in the history of economic thought. New participants are welcome, as are recommendations and submissions from any and all interested parties. We hope to organize a day’s worth of papers on “Lost insight from old Chicago” and to offer a day on the role of experts in the economy. James Buchanan plans to participate as he has in past years. We intend to present a paper on William Beveridge’s “Mock Trial of the Economists,” so other papers on LSE themes would be particularly welcome. As in past years, we anticipate that the Institute will be able to offer modest honoraria for presenters and students. Participation by upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in economics or related disciplines is encouraged. The History of Economics Society has assisted in the past with conference expenses for students. Conference events include good coffee and continental breakfasts, lunches, as well as one or two working dinners. Details about travel, housing and other matters will be posted early in 2011.
