[URPE] Heterodox Economics Newsletter - 32

Heterodox Economics Newsletter <http://l.web.umkc.edu/leefs/htn32.htm> 

Issue-32, September 29, 2006

>From the Editor 

This issue marks the beginning of the third year of the Newsletter. What is most noticeable over the past two years is the increased in and broadening of the content. In short the Newsletter is getting bigger and better, thanks to all of you who send me material.

In recent Newsletters I have included announcements about the forthcoming ICAPE's second international conference ("Economic Pluralism for the 21st Century") next June 1-3 at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately the description made the conference sound very specialized and narrow--as if it were seeking only papers on the topic of pluralism per se. Quite the contrary, this is a "big tent" conference at which all topics and schools of thought are welcome. The goal of the Conference is to create a uniquely diverse and inclusive conference, open to all who share ICAPE's commitment to the promotion of pluralism in economic scholarship and education. To make this happen, however, we need to include your work and the work of other scholars from the theoretical traditions and professional associations in which your work is rooted. 

If you would like to participate, please send a brief abstract (200-250 words) to Rob Garnett (r.garnett at tcu.edu).  Or, to learn more about the conference, including the three scheduled plenary sessions (http://www.icape.org/plenary.htm) , please visit www.icape.org. 

The Newsletter contains new calls for papers as well as conference announcements for participants. It does seem that heterodox economists are getting more and more active. In addition, the Newsletter is becoming more international as it includes announcements in languages other than English, job advertisements that are located outside of North America, and non-US-based newsletters. I urge you to check out the EAEPE newsletter because it has a very interesting interview with Kurt Rothchild and a piece by Kazimierz Laski that deals with Kalecki.

Jobs for Heterodox Economists: the Newsletter carries job advertisements from 10 universities and colleges. I would like this number to increase-so please send me any information about jobs you have going at your place of work. In addition, many of us have doctoral students who are not in a position to apply for a tenure/permanent position but rather desperately need a 1-3 year temporary position so to get teaching experience and finish their dissertation. I would like to get information about those jobs as well so that I can send them out to those desperate students. 

Finally, I have come up with a set depressing statistics regarding heterodox economics in the United States: from 1988 to 2000, the number of heterodox economists as represented by membership in AFEE, ASE, and URPE and subscribe to the JPKE fell by nearly 50% to around 750. Perhaps this was due to retirements or just a lack of interest in heterodox economics; or it may have been partially due to the lack of doctoral students. On the other hand, the percentage of US heterodox economists that participated in more than one heterodox association increased by 30% to a whopping 12.8%. These figures provide only a rough impression of the current state of heterodox economics in the US, but it is an impression that should give rise to serious discussion.
