YSI Pre-Conference @ ESHET
ESHET is arguably the most important HET event in the year, since it is the largest group at the world level. Interestingly, the conference is in truth… about today’s economics, from a historical perspective – the main topic is the changing status of economics, as the title (“It’s the end of economics (as we know it)”) makes evident. Historians are usually not concerned with economics as a discipline, but if we want to raise the chances of pluralism for the future of economics, it is probably an opportunity we should not miss. The group that organizes the conference consists of scholars who are debating on the current fragmentation and firmly believe that this might represent a factor of change.
The YSI event preceding the ESHET conference in Torino is designed to foster dialogue among young scholars and address this fragmentation. Structured as a two-day project, it aims to enhance collaboration and offer valuable insights into contemporary economic discussions through innovative formats.
Day 1: Methodological Workshops
The first day will focus on methodological workshops, where participants will engage in discussions to allow young scholars to step back from traditional research presentations and collaboratively explore their works. All participants will receive each other’s papers in advance, ensuring that everyone comes prepared to discuss the content thoroughly. This prerequisite fosters a more meaningful dialogue, as scholars can provide informed feedback and insights based on a shared understanding of the material. The workshop will be interactive, promoting an environment where participants can share their experiences, methodologies, and challenges in their research.
Day 2: Poster Session at ESHET Conference
On the second day, coinciding with the first day of the ESHET conference, a poster session will be organized. This session aims to maintain visibility for the YSI community within the broader context of the conference. Participants will present their research through posters that highlight key findings and methodologies. These posters will remain displayed throughout the conference, allowing for ongoing engagement with senior scholars and attendees. A senior scholar will be invited to read each paper presented in the poster session. After reviewing, they will provide constructive feedback, which will be attached to each poster as a page of review points. This mentorship aspect not only enriches the learning experience for early career researchers but also encourages networking opportunities with established academics.
The overarching aim of this YSI event is to support Early Career Researchers (ECR) in navigating the challenges they face in academia, helping scholars to empower and explore unconventional approaches to contribute to a more pluralistic future in economics.
