<Applications now closed>

The Post-Keynesian Economics Society (PKES), in collaboration with the Institute for Political Economy, Governance, Finance and Accountability (PEGFA) at the University of Greenwich, is organising its 13th annual PhD student conference on 13 May 2022, 09:00-18:00. This year’s conference will be held in person, at the University of Greenwich, London. The conference gives students the opportunity to present a chapter of their PhD dissertation and receive detailed feedback from a senior researcher from PKES.

We invite applications from students who are in a later stage of their PhD and who work on topics relevant to Post-Keynesian and heterodox economics. We encourage submissions of completed dissertation chapters in the format of working papers, that qualify as a novel contribution to the literature and are at the stage of pre-publication. We usually do not consider dissertation proposals, literature reviews, or papers based on a master’s thesis.

We are particularly excited to introduce the Mark Hayes Prize this year for the first time. The Mark Hayes Prize will be awarded to an outstanding paper presented at the PhD conference, that furthers the advancement of post-Keynesian and heterodox economics. The prize is named after Mark Hayes (1956-2019), an exemplary Keynes scholar and former Secretary of PKES. 

The winner of the prize will receive a £200 stipend and will be announced at the end of the conference. If you would like your submission to be considered for the Mark Hayes prize, you must submit your paper in advance of the general deadline, by Friday, 18 March 2022. The prize selection committee consists of PKES committee members. 

There is no participation fee for the conference. Lunch and refreshments will be provided thanks to generous funding by PEGFA.
