Call for Papers
URPE at the ASSA
Union for Radical Political Economics sponsored sessions at the Allied Social Science Association Annual Conference, San Fransisco January 3-5, 2009
URPE invites proposals for individual papers and complete sessions for the URPE at ASSA annual meeting. URPE welcomes proposals on radical political economic theory and applied analysis from a wide variety of theoretical traditions.
The deadline for proposed papers and sessions is May 1, 2008.
Please note that anyone who presents a paper (but not the chairs or discussants) must be a member of URPE at the time of submission. (except at joint sessions with other groups, in which case they can be a member of the other organization). On May 1, 2008, we will confirm membership for accepted proposals. Those whose membership is not current will be notified and given until May 15 to pay their URPE dues, or their proposals will not be considered for inclusion in the URPE at the ASSA program. Click on the Join URPE, above, or contact our national office at urpe@labornet.org or 413-577-0806 for membership information.
Proposals for complete sessions are encouraged.
- Please include the session title, a brief description of each paper, and the names, institutional affiliations, and email addresses of the chair, discussants, and presenters. Please include program registration forms [html] [Word]
- Proposals for sessions should contain four papers, discussants for the papers and a session chair.
- The session organizer is responsible for conveying administrative information to session members, including confirmation that the session has been accepted, the time and location, and deadlines.
Proposals for individual papers should
- Please include the title, an abstract, and the author’s name, institutional affiliation, and email. Please include program registration forms [html] [Word]
- Individuals whose papers are accepted may also be expected to serve as a discussant for a different paper at the meetings. Please list the areas you prefer to discuss
- Individual papers will be assigned to sessions according to theme. The session organizer will convey administrative information to session members, including confirmation that the session has been accepted, the time and location, and deadlines.
We regret that high quality individual papers may be turned down due to the inability to place them in a session with papers with similar themes. For this reason, we strongly encourage proposals for full sessions. The number of sessions we can accept is limited by ASSA, and we regret that high quality sessions may be turned down as well.
Please note that the date, time, and location of sessions is assigned by ASSA, not URPE. You should receive word from URPE that your paper/session was accepted by mid-June. ASSA will not assign dates and times until much later in the summer.
A completed copy of the Program Registration Form [html] [Word] is required with your submission. Submissions will NOT BE ACCEPTED BY E-MAIL. Only applications received by the May 1 deadline will be considered.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the URPE at ASSA coordinators
