2024 Annual Conference

The 54th annual meeting of The History of Economic Thought Society (THETS) will be hosted by the Centre of Political Economy, Governance, Finance and Accountability, at the University of Greenwich in London, from the 4th to the 6th of September 2024.

THETS is one of the longest established groups of scholars with an interest in the history of economic thought, the history of economics and economic knowledge. Annual meetings have been organized since 1968.

Papers dealing with any aspect of the history of economic thought (HET) from any period are welcome. We encourage submissions from disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. We welcome and encourage papers taking a non-European or global perspective, particularities of pedagogical approaches and practice of the HET in contemporary universities, and present-day significance of engagement with the HET in economics as a field in need of decolonising, intersectionality, and interdisciplinarity. Presentations by PhD students and early career scholars are particularly encouraged. The Society will make available a limited number of stipends to cover part of the cost of attendance for young scholars.

The registration fee for the conference is £150 (£100 for students). There is a charge of £50 for the conference dinner.
