SPERI’s Doctoral Researchers Network have announced the programme for their upcoming conference. Doctoral and early-career researchers will visit 91Ö±²¥ from across the UK and beyond.
Participants will present on panels exploring wide ranging topics, including financialisation, inequality, climate, authoritarianism, industrial policy and development. Each panel will be joined by an academic colleague who will discuss the presentations. The event will close with a roundtable discussion with editors from political economy journals, including Aida Hozic (Review of International Political Economy), Adrienne Roberts (New Political Economy) and Silke Trommer (Globalizations). The event will showcase almost 40 presentations across nine panels, and will include 12 academic colleagues as discussants and roundtable participants.
SPERI's DRN co-convenors write:
"The SPERI Doctoral Researchers Network is delighted to be hosting Postgraduate and Early Career Researchers to present their work, empirical and theoretical perspectives, on emerging themes and directions in Critical Political Economy (CPE). We are hoping to provide a platform to bolster, celebrate, and challenge research and ideas emerging in CPE, and facilitate networking for postgraduate and early career researchers in this field. We feel that CPE gives researchers at all levels a framework to explore some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. Polycrises in economies, environments, polities, and societies across the world are prompting new questions and new approaches and as doctoral researchers at SPERI, one of the leading Political Economy research institutes in the UK, we see CPE as the foremost lens through which to understand the multiplicity of problems facing us."
