CALL FOR PAPERS for Presentations by Young Researchers at theInternational Conference on Development, Freedom and Welfare'in
CALL FOR PAPERS for Presentations by Young Researchers at theInternational Conference on Development, Freedom and Welfare'in Houner of PROFESSOR AMARTYA SENNew Delhi, 19-20 December 2008Organized by Cornell University & Institute for Human Development
The year 2008 marks Professor Amartya Sen’s 75th birthday. Professor Sen has made deep and lasting contributions to the academic disciplines of economics, philosophy, and the social sciences more broadly. He has engaged in policy dialogue and public debate, advancing the cause of a human development focused policy agenda, and a tolerant and democratic polity. This ‘Argumentative Indian’ has always spoken up for the needs of the poorest segments of society, and for the openness and plurality of cultures. He has won important awards, ranging from the Nobel Prize in Economics to the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour. This public recognition has gone hand in hand with the affection and admiration that Professor Sen’s friends and students feel for him.
Clearly, a celebration is called for. We will be holding a conference in his honour on 19-20 December 2008, in New Delhi. The conference will be inaugurated by Dr Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, and many of the world’s leading economists and social scientists will be present at the celebration. It will have three components:
1)
The launch of Arguments for a Better World: Essays in Honour of Amartya Sen a festschrift by leading economists and social scientists, edited by Kaushik Basu and Ravi Kanbur, to be published by Oxford University Press. Many of the authors will be present at the conference.
2)
Three Policy Panels, on India specific and global development issues. The panelists will be leading thinkers and policy makers from India and the World.
3)
Presentations by young economists and social scientists from India and around the world. We feel that this is particularly appropriate given Professor Sen’s own devotion to his students and to young social scientists in general. The presentations will be by young researchers selected from submissions to this Call for Papers, by an international committee of assessors.
The organizers invite submissions of papers by young researchers below the age of 40 years (preference will be given to younger researchers). A detailed abstract (about 1000 words) of the paper should be sent to senconference@gmail.com by 15 July 2008. However, the submission of full papers will be preferred. The selected candidates need to submit the full papers by 31 October 2008.
