Some documents related to the founding of ALAHPE
The Latin American Association for the History of Economic Thought (ALAHPE) was created in November 2015, in Santiago, during the activities of the 5th Latin American Conference on the History of Economic Thought – ESHET Chile 2015. The event was part of a series Latin American conferences promoted since 2011 with the support of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET), with previous editions in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil. These conferences played a fundamental role in reinforcing the sense of community among professionals dedicated to the history of economics who shared multiple ties, both personal and academic, with Latin America.
As this spirit matured, the decision was made, in Santiago, to create an autonomous association dedicated to cultivating a common space for the Latin American community of historians of economics. The founding document of ALAHPE was signed by 37 participants at the Santiago meeting, with the express support of 65 other professionals, together representing ten different Latin American countries.
Since then, ALAHPE has been working to put into practice the different aspects of its institutional mission. Its main instruments, so far, are the academic events organized by the association. Every two years, ALAHPE promotes the Latin American Conference on the History of Economic Thought, which quickly established itself as the main forum for academic exchange between scholars working in the region. The association is also responsible for organizing HESSLA, a summer school dedicated to young researchers with an interest in the field. Finally, we also manage an electronic mailing list, which provides a space for disseminating news, publications, works in progress, and other relevant discussions.
Become a member too and come join the ALAHPE community!
ALAHPE BylawsALAHPE members must present and conduct their research with integrity and honesty, respecting legal and ethical requirements and acknowledging the contributions of others.
In all ALAHPE spaces (both digital and in-person), speech, discourse and texts must be conducted with respect. People should be respectfully treated regardless of their position, age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, economic and social background, sexual orientation, disability and any other personal characteristic. All kinds of bullying or harassment are prohibited and strongly repudiated.
ALAHPE aims to construct a diverse, fruitful and respectful environment, where equal opportunity and fair treatment apply to all. Therefore, all its members must actively engage in including all, especially those belonging to groups sub-represented in the society. This translates as providing them with time to speak (in presentations, questions and comments) in an welcoming and respectful ambience.
ALAHPE seeks to pay special attention to promote gender and race equality within its events, giving preference to sub-represented groups in case of a limited number of attendees and developing other strategies to encourage their participation. Equality should also be met in different positions, such as members of the organizing and scientific committees, panelists and speakers.
Any breach of the code of conduct should be reported to any of the members of the executive committee, anonymously or not.
ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS FOR SESSION CHAIRS AND MODERATORS
1. Diversity and gender parity should be observed when opening the floor for comments and questions. For instance, if two men raise their hand first, even if a woman makes it afterwards, it should be given her preference after the first man has spoken. The same should apply to differences of race and age.
2. Please take into consideration the amount of time allowed for comments and questions, and those willing to speak. You are responsible for preventing someone from taking up all the speaking time and not allowing others to express themselves.
3. Possible suggestions: to ask if young scholars want to speak first, before giving space for older scholars.
