5th JHET Online Writing Workshop series: Session 3
After very successful rounds of a series of workshops in the last four years, we are now running its fifth edition and we are here to invite you all to participate of its third session. The JHET Online 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 third meeting is scheduled for May 7 (Tuesday), 2024, from 10AM to 11AM EDT time (UTC-4; New York time), and its topic is described below. And differently from last editions, this year Paul will discuss a theme in the workshop session through one book he selected.
As we did last year, there is a new feature to these workshops. 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 immediately follow the one-hour plenary session.
If you are interested in the workshop, please fill in the online form:
The deadline for applying is May 3, 2024 (Friday), and participation is subject to availability.
