Call for papers – Manchester 2017

ASSOCIATION FOR HETERODOX ECONOMICS
19th Annual Conference
July 10-12, 2017
Sustainable Economy and Economics
Dalton Ellis Hall, University of Manchester, UK

The shrinking of the polar ice caps suggests a dangerous rise in sea level by 2050. Declining biodiversity and growing sea pollution indicate that a change is needed in the dominant narratives about growth and profit. Heterodox economics needs to offer a compelling alternative narrative. This conference welcomes submissions of Abstracts which theorise such issues, or do empirical work, or both.

Our plenary speakers include Prof. Clive Spash (Vienna University of Economics and Business), Prof. Lynne Chester (University of Sydney), Prof. Anwar Shaikh (New School University), and Prof. Ozlem Onaran(University of Greenwich).
