The 16th
HETSA Conference
The
16th conference of the History of Economic Thought Society of
Australia will be held on 15-18 July 2003 in Melbourne at the St Patrick’s
Campus of the Australian Catholic University. The conference usually
attracts between 40 and 50 participants, including international visitors.
St Patrick’s Campus is located in
Fitzroy and conference attendees will have easy access to Brunswick
Street, which is a designated cultural precinct of Melbourne. Multicultural
shopping, wine bars, cafes, restaurants, music and comedy
venues, and theatres are all within walking distance, as is the CBD.
The conference consists
of three days of symposiums, a keynote address, a conference dinner and an
after-dinner speech, submitted research papers, work-in-progress
presentations, and many opportunities for formal and informal conversations
on the development of economic ideas.
There will be a
reception at St Patrick’s Campus from 6.00pm on Tuesday 15 July. Drinks
and light refreshments will be served.
Sessions begin at
9.00am on Wednesday 16 July, and the conference concludes at mid-day on
Friday 18 July. Please do not make travel plans involving flights
that depart before 2.30 pm on Friday.
The conference dinner
will be held on Thursday evening (17 July).
The organisers wish to
encourage papers from all perspectives and schools of thought, and in
particular young researchers who examine new aspects of the history of
economic thought. Full papers will be delivered in sessions that allow 30-40
minutes for each paper. A work-in-progress session is being organised for
short (10 minute) presentations that can act as a ‘sounding board’ for
further research work.
Please submit
abstracts, of no more than 250 words, to Gregory Moore, g,moore@patrick.acu.edu.au,
by 31 May 2003, indicating whether the abstract is for a full paper or is a
work-in-progress. Final versions of all papers are to be submitted by 30
June, in which case the organisers will produce copies for members attending
the conference. Authors who miss this deadline will need to bring 50 copies
of their paper with them to Melbourne.
Sessions will be
arranged according to historical periods and themes.
There will be no
parallel sessions at the conference, so the number of papers will be limited
to approximately 30 over the three days.
