RE: Re: Re: RE: Hetero Depts

["Forstater, Mathew" <ForstaterM@xxxxxxxx>]

Dickinson College in Carlisle PA, has a Marxist (Sinan Koont, phd from
UMass-Amherst), a neo-Marxists/radical political economist (Chuck
Barone, Phd from American) an institutionalist (Gordon Bergsten, Phd
from UCB), and a non-neoclassical Austrian (Bill Bellinger).  Their
visiting people are usually from UMass (in recent years George DeMartino
and Ted Burczak) or George Mason or American. Maybe their recent
environmental economist is mainstream, but as a dept, they are pretty
non-orthodox.

By the way, on the terminology, someone on the PKT list suggested that
"orthodox" is actually a misnomer, better thought of as "homodox."  UMKC
often uses "Pluralistic" instead of heterodox.

Max - I don't beleive Tufts has a heterodox department
(though the university does house the global development
and environment program).  Dickinson also does not have
a heterodox dept; Matt is probably thinking of Drew University
in PA -- where Tom Dickins teaches.  As long as you're
considering undergrad programs, Simmons College
in Boston has a nice mix of faculty as does Mount Holyoke.

I personally hate the word heterodox.  How about inclusive,
open-minded, free-thinking?
