HES Conference: Santiago, Chile, July 14-18
The History of Economics Society will hold its 51st meeting (and 50th anniversary of the founding of the Society) from July 14 to 18, 2024 at the Universidad del Desarrollo, in Santiago, Chile.
We invite individual paper and session submissions through our website (https://historyofeconomics.org/2024-santiago/). The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2024.
This will be the first time the History of Economics Society hosts its annual meeting in Latin America! We are excited about it. Santiago is easily connected to most European and American cities. Please remember it will be winter in the Southern Hemisphere, but temperatures usually range between 5-10C (40-50F). Chile is home to the Atacama Desert, Torre del Paine in Patagonia, and Easter Island, as well as many other natural and cultural attractions. See https://www.chile.travel/en/ or https://serviciosturisticos.
We are also happy to announce our 2024 plenary speakers: Geoffrey Sayre-McCord (Morehead-Cain Alumni Distinguished Professor at UNC-Chapel Hill and director of the PPE Society) and a celebration of Adam Smith at 301 with Sandra Peart (University of Richmond), Maria Alejandra Carrasco (Universidad de los Andes-Chile), and Leonidas Montes (director of Centro de Estudios Públicos and Professor at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez).
An early bird registration fee of $150 will be available until May 31, 2024 midnight US Central time. The fee for regular attendants registering after this date will be $200. We are glad to offer discounted registration fees for students (early bird: $50/regular: $100) and scholars with insufficient institutional support (early bird: $100/regular: $150).
