Heterodox Economics Newsletter Issue 248 | June 10, 2019 | web1 | pdf2 | Heterodox Economics Directory3 Pinning down the nature of heterodox economics and suggesting appropriate definitions of this field of study is both, a general concern of the heterodox research community and a practical necessity for advancing a coherent research agenda. An interesting recent contribution to this discussion can be found here4 , which emphasizes, among other things, that "it is important to have a positive definition of heterodox economics to distinguish the field from other social sciences, as well as from the mainstream of the field.” This argument reminds me that it was exactly this concern that motivated me - many years ago, when I started editing this Newsletter - to change the definition given on our webpage from a 'negative' one, which focused on differences to mainstream approaches, to a 'positive' version, which puts emphasis on common conceptual building blocks across different heterodox traditions (see here5 & scroll down a little). In my view, such a positive definition does not only allow to carve out commonalities between different heterodox traditions as well as to provide a more reasoned account on the differences to mainstream economics, but also comes with greater conceptual clarity that makes heterodox economics a more attractive contributor to other sub-fields in social research, like development studies, economic sociology or political economy (as already emphasized here6 ). Having said all that, I wanted to urge you to inspect this week's Newsletter quickly as some of our job ads (e.g. here7 or here8 ) and conference calls (e.g. here9 or here10 ) come with rather tight deadlines!

Submissions are open to the 7th Latin American Conference of the History of Economic Thought. Proposals for papers (500 words) and sessions (1000 words) will be received through [email protected] . Submission deadline: 30 June 2019 Special Sessions on "Political Economy and Public Policy, 18th-19th Cen- turies" The relationship between political economy and public policy is a time-honored topic in the history of economics, occupying the minds of such eminent scholars as Lionel Robbins, William Grampp, Donald Winch and Bob Coats. As the discipline evolved, however, discussion of this subject has tended to focus on large scale, comparative studies of the institutionalization of the economics profession and the role of economists in society. Valuable as these studies have been, they ended up losing sight of the specific sites where the engagement between political economy and policy formation took place. Our goal is to gather a set of contributions that will explore in more depth the concrete channels through which political economy shaped the course of public policy, and was in turn shaped by political practice. We invite abstracts of no more than 500 words for presentation in thematic sessions at the 7th Latin American Conference for the History of Economic Thought, which will take place on November 20-22, 2019, at the Federal University of Paran´a(Curitiba, Brazil). Focusing on a specific policy issue, papers should address the interplay between economic ideas and public debate throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, either in parliament, press, pamphlets, and/or public administration. We thus expect to shed light on the concrete settings through which economic knowledge has influenced public policy and, conversely, how the political values and worldview of economists have influenced their theoretical writings. Proposals should be sent to Rebeca Gomez Betancourt12 , Simon Hupfel13 , Javier San Julian14 or Carlos Eduardo Suprinyak15 . Abstracts should also include name, affiliation, current academic status (PhD student, postdoc, lecturer, etc) and contact details.
