CPERN support for early career scholars

At our mid-term workshops we hold a writing workshop, to provide support and feedback for early career scholars seeking to get the first publication. The first of these took place in 2020, and we have since had one in Limerick (2022) and Naples (2023). For details of the 2022 early career workshop – see here. The early career writing workshops are supported by the Conference of Socialist Economists/Capital and Class.

5 top tips for academic publishing – by Dr Phoebe Moore (University of Leicester).

The early career scholar writing workshops are an opportunity for those working on attempts to secure their first publication to receive detailed feedback from published scholars in the field of critical political economy, with the goal of facilitating the writing and publication process, supported by the Conference of Socialist Economists, which publishes the journal, Capital and Class

The events provide an excellent opportunity for both early career scholars to receive feedback and advice on their work, and for members of the critical political economy research network to broaden their network and get to hear about new work in the field. We look forward to continue running the workshop in future years.
