Union for Radical Political Economics
Call for Papers - Annual ASSA Meeting
New Orleans
January 4-6, 2008

URPE invites proposals for individual papers and complete
sessions for the URPE at ASSA (Allied Social Sciences Association)
annual meeting. URPE welcomes proposals on radical political economic
theory and applied analysis from a wide variety of theoretical traditions.

The *deadline* for proposed papers and sessions is *May 1, 2007*.

Proposals for *complete sessions* are encouraged and should
include the session title, a brief description of each paper,
and the names, institutional affiliations, and email
addresses of the chair, discussants, and presenters.
Proposals for sessions should contain four papers. If
you are proposing a complete session, please arrange
to have discussants for your papers and a chair for
your session. As the organizer of this session, you are
responsible for conveying administrative information
to session members, including confirmation that the
session has been accepted, the time and location, and
deadlines.

Proposals for *individual papers* should include the
title, the abstract, and the author's name, institutional
affiliation, and email. Individuals whose papers are
accepted may also be expected to serve as a discussant
for a different paper at the meetings. If you list the
areas you prefer to discuss, all attempts will be made
to match your preferences. Individual papers that are
accepted will be assigned to sessions and each session
will have an assigned organizer. It is the organizer's
job to convey administrative information to session
members, including confirmation that the session has
been accepted, the time and location, and deadlines.
URPE has no paid ASSA staff, so those presenting
papers must share the burden of organizing.

We regret that high quality individual papers may be
turned down due to the inability to place them in a session
with papers with similar themes. For this reason,
we strongly encourage proposals for full sessions. The
number of sessions we can accept is limited by ASSA,
and we regret that high quality sessions may be turned
down as well.

Please note that the date, time, and location of sessions
is assigned by ASSA, not URPE. You should receive
word from URPE that your paper/session was accepted
by mid-June. ASSA will not assign dates and times until
much later in the summer.

Please note that anyone who presents a paper (but not
the chairs or discussants) must be a member of URPE
(except at joint sessions with other groups, in which
case they can be a member of the other organization).
Contact urpe@labornet.org or 413-577-0806 for membership
information. We will confirm membership for
accepted proposals.

A completed copy of the Program Registration Form
(below) is required with your submission. *Submissions
will NOT BE ACCEPTED BY EMAIL. Only
applications received by the May 1 deadline will be
considered*.

If you have any questions, please contact one of the
URPE at ASSA coordinators:

Fred Moseley, Mount Holyoke College
