After very successful rounds of a series of workshops in the last five years, we are extremely happy to hold its 6th edition and we are here to invite you all to participate of its fourth session of the year. The JHET Online Writing Workshops are conducted by Paul Dudenhefer, who has been for many years the managing editor of History of Political Economy (HOPE) and has a vast experience with helping economics students improve their academic writing.
Although difficulties with writing is not exclusive to non-native English speakers, the fact that the history of economics is a very international community makes language barriers a significant factor behind the heterogeneous representation of the works by historians written in English.
In order to help both non-native and native English speakers improve their writing and presentation skills, JHET is offering these workshops free of charge to anyone interested. We will give priority to early-career scholars (graduate students or those who graduated in the last 5 years) but aim to have a diverse group of participants. The meeting takes place through Zoom.
The fourth meeting is scheduled for September 18 (Thursday), 2025, from 10AM to 11AM EDT time (UTC-4; New York time), and its topic is described below.
In addition to the one-hour long session, members of the History of Economics Society can apply for an individual 30min private tutorial with Paul to discuss a writing sample of theirs. Two of such sessions will follow immediately the one-hour plenary session.
If you are interested in the workshop, please fill in the online form:
The deadline for applying is September 14, 2025 (Sunday), and participation is subject to availability.
Session 4: Writing for an Academic Audience
