Call for Panels at the 2012 Left Forum

The 2012 Left Forum will take place at Pace University (NYC), March 16-18. This year's theme is "Occupy the System: Confronting Global Capitalism." URPE members can submit panels to the LF either independently or with URPE sponsorship. The advantage of URPE sponsorship is that you will get more publicity within URPE and you may get help organizing your panel. The LF lists sponsoring organizations in its brochure and on its website.

The Left Forum deadline for submission of panels, whether they are submitted through URPE or independently, is January 31. These panels do not need to be totally completed, but your panel may be more likely to be accepted if your submission includes a lot of detail. See the panel submission page of the LF website for submission details.

People who attend the LF are well-informed but most are not economists. Panels should be on topics of general interest. Please be prepared to make a major contribution toward organizing your panel, but be open to the possibility of accepting additional suggestions of panelists from URPE or from the 2012 LF organizers.

All panelists must register for the Left Forum. See the LF registration page.
