“The Wealth of Notions” in Economic Thought: Teaching & Research

The States & Markets and History of Economic Thought Working Groups are happy to invite you to participate in a two-day workshop on the practice of teaching and researching the history of economic thought.

This workshop, organized in collaboration with the Italian Association for the History of Political Economy (STOREP) and the “Wealth of Notions” research project, is intended to support students and early career researchers who are interested in working directly within the field of the history of economic thought (HET) or incorporating insights from HET into other research areas. In particular, we will explore some of the many ways of “doing” history of economic thought, including both qualitative and quantitative research methods.

The event will be in Turin, Italy at the University of Turin on November 27-28th.

Accommodation and partial travel support is available. Travel stipends are intended to support participants coming from Italy or Europe.

The program will be divided into two parts, with the following activities confirmed:

Teaching History of Economic Thought

“Innovative tools for teaching history of economic thought” — presentation by the “Wealth of Notions” team from the University of Turin and the University of Zaragoza.
“Teaching the Polycrisis: Assessing the effect of pluralist education in Italian economics programs” — presented by Michella Ciccotosto (University of Turin), Oleksandra Sokolenko (Roma Tre University) and J.Christopher Proctor (Sorbonne University Alliance)

Researching History of Economic Thought
