Call for papers

Call for Submissions

We welcome proposals for contributed papers and symposia in all areas of the philosophy and methodology of economics. We particularly encourage submissions that combine philosophy and methodology of economics with other perspectives on studying economics offered, for instance, by history and sociology of economics, decision theory, ethics and political philosophy, as well as submissions in Africana philosophy and economics, social ontology, feminist approaches and postcolonial approaches.

Contributions by early career scholars and from outside Western Europe or the US/Canada are particularly encouraged. A limited number of remote presentations can be accommodated.

Speakers at the conference will be eligible to submit their full papers to a special issue of the Journal of Economic Methodology.

The submission procedure for papers is available here, and the procedure for symposia is available here. Abstracts for contributed papers should be 700–1,000 words. If you are interested in presenting your paper remotely, please indicate so in your submission. A symposium is typically composed of 3 or 4 papers that address a shared theme within a 1,5 hour time slot. Symposium proposals should contain a short summary of the topic and motivation of the symposium (250–500 words) accompanied by abstracts of the symposium papers (500–900 words each, submitted in a separate file). Book symposiums or proposals for alternative formats will also be considered.

Deadlines:

• March 1st, 2025: Deadline for the submissions of both papers and symposia.
• May 1st, 2025: Communication of decisions.
• August 1st, 2025: Conference registration deadline.
