Each year, typically in April, Duke University Press, which publishes the journal History of Political Economy, sponsors a small conference to which a select group of scholars is invited to focus on a specialized topic in the history of economics. Papers from the HOPE conferences are published as hard-bound, special issues of History of Political Economy. The Duke HOPE Group welcomes proposals for these annual conferences; contact Professor Craufurd Goodwin.
