[Tamara Stenn]

Also don't forget ASHE - American Soc. of Hispanic Economists - they have 2 sessions too and are certainly worth supporting.

Dear URPE members,
       This note is (primarily) for those going to the ASSAs in Chicago.
       URPE is a member of an umbrella organization of different groups, ICAPE (International Confederation of Associations for Pluralism in Economics), mostly non-mainstream, that approach economics in many different ways (pluralism). In order to increase the contacts among these many groups, the 5 of them that have sessions at the ASSA have put out a unified schedule so one can see what is going on among all these groups (largely non mainstream) at the ASSAs. The groups are the Association for Social Economics (ASE), the Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE), Economists for Peace and Security (EPS), the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) and ourselves, URPE.
       This list should be posted now (or very soon) at the ICAPE site (google "ICAPE")
       Since our listserve does take attachments, I am including the entire (lengthy) list in this note, as even for those not going you might find what just these 5 groups are doing as far as research (and who is doing what, who you can of course contact). Again, you might get a nicer format on the ICAPE page if you intend to run this off to take with you to the meetings.
       In solidarity, Al
