Grad. Prog. advt for URPE Newsletter

["Lee, Frederic" <leefs@xxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleague,

Paddy Quick and I think that it would be of interest to the readers of the URPE Newsletter to have a quick summary of the various MA/PhD programs that have some kind of emphasis on radical political economy/heterodox economics.  This would inform all of us where interesting programs are and thus be able to direct students to them.   Thus we propose to have a page or so in the Fall Newsletter where each program can briefly describe themselves and provide contact numbers and Web Site information.  My description of the graduate program at UMKC can perhaps be used as a template.  Please send your program descriptions directly to Paddy Quick.  Her e-mail address is paddyquick@xxxxxxxx  It would be nice if Paddy received your descriptions by the beginning of September.

Sincerely,

Fred Lee


University of Missouri-Kansas City

The Department of Economics at UMKC offers both MA and PhD programs that emphasize an interdisciplinary, heterodox approach to economics.  Thus side by side with standard economic theory and an empirical orientation, the Department offers core theory courses as well as elective courses in Institutional, Post Keynesian, and other heterodox economics.  The Department also offers a specialized social science field that covers philosophy, methods, and theories in the social sciences.  Finally, the Department is the home of the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability.  For application information contact Professor Jim Sturgeon at his e-mail address:  sturgeon@xxxxxxxxx  Application forms and other information can be found at our Web Site:  http://iml.umkc.edu/econ.
