Next up at the first Cambridge Realist Workshop  on Monday
February 05 is Olivier Favereau (from Université Paris X and
CNRS), giving a talk entitled:

“What is the (French) Convention School?”

The Convention School  is one of the two big heterdox
traditions in French economics, though seemingly surprisingly
little known in the UK.  So here is a chance ….There is no
paper precisely on this talk, but I attach a related one by
Favereau as background reading.

First up, on M
onday January 22 is Christian Arnsperger

from the (mainstream) University of Louvain, giving a talk entitled:

“Tales of an Unconscious Critical Realist:

From Homo Economicus to Complexity and Dialectics”

As you might guess from the title, Christian has been moving away from, and
challenging the mainstream, and developing an alternative approach which
he now finds is similar to CR.

As usual, the talk starts at 8pm, but drinks are available from 7:30 pm
