Since its inception in the late eighteenth century, Political Economy has been used as a lens through which to examine and address parochial and international social issues, from gender equality to class, abolitionism, environmental concerns, imperialism and globalisation. Throughout history, the response to Political Economy has often been controversial, from popularising and translating economic texts, to burning and banning them. This international conference seeks to re-examine and challenge the current landscape for Political Economy as an interdisciplinary approach. Its relevance across various fields of study, from science to literature, and from history to sociology and cultural studies to name a few, warrants ongoing examination and this Conference offers a unique opportunity for established and emerging scholars.
