[URPE] call for urpe at assa

Union for Radical Political Economics
Call for Papers - Annual Meeting
Denver, January 7-9, 2011

URPE invites proposals for individual papers and complete sessions for 
the URPE at ASSA 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, 2010. At that 
time individual and panel proposals will be checked to be sure everyone 
is current with their URPE dues or the proposals will be set aside.

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. A registration form must be completed for each paper.

Proposals for individual papers should include the title, the abstract, 
and the author's name, institutional affiliation, and email. You should 
also complete the registration form. 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) at the time of submission of the paper or panel proposal. 
Contact urpe at labornet.org or 413-577-0806 for membership information. We 
will confirm membership prior to accepting proposals.

We prefer that you submit your application on line on the URPE website 
www.urpe.org, beginning April 1 (instructions will be available by March 
1 on the website). You may also submit a completed copy of the Program 
Registration Form (below) by snail mail, or provide the same information 
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:

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). Please contact the 
URPE national office for membership information:  urpe at labornet.org or 
413-577-0806 and complete your membership or renewal before you submit 
the proposal. We will be checking prior to accepting panels or assigning 
individuals to panels. If ANY paper presenter on a panel is not a 
current member of URPE the entire panel will not be considered as a 
group; individual papers may be included in other panels.  It is the 
responsibility of the organizer of a panel to ensure this membership 
requirement prior to May 1. Any individual paper whose author is not a 
current member will be set aside and not considered for inclusion. 
Presenting at the ASSA (or any other URPE sponsored panel) is a privilege.
