12-13 December 2019 | City, University of London
Building on the success of our previous conferences, the 4th annual Finance and Society Network (FSN) conference aims to foster further dialogue between the diverse camps that make up the new field of ‘finance and society’ studies. In particular, it seeks to identify new synergies between heterodox political economy and various sociological, historical, and philosophical perspectives on the intersections of finance and society. Contributions are also encouraged from the fringes of conventional academia, with visual, performance art, and activist or practitioner perspectives welcome. The conference is organised through the Finance and Society Network (FSN), in association with the journal Finance and Society, the Department of Political Economy at the University of Sydney and the City Political Economy Research Centre (CITYPERC) at City, University of London.
Keynote addresses:
- The legal code of capital Katharina Pistor, Columbia Law School
- Time and history in the critique of political economy Peter Osborne, Kingston University London
Contributions are invited in two formats: Papers; abstract of up to 300 words; and Panels; panel proposal plus 4-5 paper abstracts.
