Heterodox Economics Conference

["Gary Slater" <ecogjrs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleague,

For the fourth year running we are hosting the Post Graduate Economics
Conference at Leeds. Our aim in setting up the conference is to provide a unique
forum for postgraduate (PhD) students to present their research, predominantly,
but not exclusively, in the area of heterodox economics.

We are writing to you with details on the conference because you may be
supervising doctoral students, or have colleagues who are doing so, or you may
be a student yourself. We would appreciate it if you could pass on the 'call for
papers' below to your students and colleagues.

While the papers are given by students, each year we attract many academics
to the conference, who provide useful feedback and discussion on the
proceedings. We also have a keynote address from an established academic. In
previous years our speakers have included Geoff Harcourt and Bob Rowthorn.
We hope that you will be able to attend this year's conference on Friday 12th
November to offer support and encouragement to the next generation of
heterodox economists.

At the moment we are still calling for papers, but if you are interested in
attending please keep the date free and refer to our web-site
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/cipp/pgc.htm for further details.

Many thanks,
Gary Slater
for the conference committee
