Call for Proposals: Frontiers in Philosophy of Economics
The executive board of the International Network for Economic Method (INEM) is pleased to announce a call for proposals under the theme 'Frontiers in Philosophy of Economics.' We invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to submit proposals that advance our understanding and visibility of the philosophy of economics. We would like to encourage debates about new topics in philosophy and methodology of economics and/or advance novel approaches or perspectives on the ongoing discussions. We also encourage scholars at various stages of their careers, including specifically early-career scholars, to apply. We especially welcome applications from scholars affiliated at the institutions outside Western Europe and the US.
We support organisation of events or initiatives that advance the following goals:
1. Providing novel perspectives on ongoing discussions or neglected areas of philosophy and methodology of economics
We seek proposals that develop innovative approaches in well-established areas or neglected domains within philosophy and methodology of economics. We encourage submissions of workshops, lectures, conferences, seminars, symposia or novel formats that:
- explore under-researched areas,
- introduce novel methodologies, approaches or perspectives.
Proposals that foster inclusion and support for early career scholars and underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged.
2. Enhancing the visibility of INEM as an institutionalized scholarly network and of philosophy and methodology of economics at allied societies
We welcome submissions that aim to increase the visibility and impact of INEM and of philosophy and methodology of economics as a scholarly field within related academic domains and professional societies. We seek proposals for:
- collaborative projects with other organizations.
- outreach and engagement activities.
- symposia, workshops, or special sessions that promote philosophy and methodology of economics during conferences of cognate societies or neighbouring disciplines.
We particularly encourage proposals that foster inclusion and support for early career scholars and underrepresented groups.
3. Increasing the visibility of INEM and philosophy and methodology of economics as a scholarly field outside of Western Europe and the US/Canada
We welcome submissions that aim to increase the visibility and impact of INEM and philosophy and methodology of economics in regions outside of INEM’s traditional reach, i.e., Western Europe and the US/Canada. Those would be proposals for:
- collaborative projects with organizations in regions beyond Western Europe and the US/Canada.
- outreach and engagement activities in the direction of new geographical regions.
- workshops, conferences, or symposia that promote the field of philosophy and methodology of economics that help bridge geographical regions.
We particularly seek proposals of this sort that also foster inclusion and support for early career scholars and underrepresented groups.
