The History of Economic Thought and the Philosophy of Economics working groups are organising the Second pre-ALAHPE INET-YSI workshop. The workshop will take place at Universidade Federal do Paraná in Curitiba, Brasil, on November 19th, one day before the Conference of the Latin American Association for the History of Economic Thought (ALAHPE).
The goal of the workshop is to discuss the methods, sources, and epistemological challenges involved in assessing the role of female economists in the history of Latin American economics. The workshop will be divided in sessions which will be dedicated to young scholars presenting their research and a presentation leaded by Dr. Verónica Montecinos, professor of Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University.
Young scholars whose research is related with the topic of the workshop or believe that this discussion could enhance their present or future work are encourage to apply.
