Oeconomicus

 

An all-student interdisciplinary journal of economic issues

 

Oeconomicus is an interdisciplinary journal of economic issues written, refereed, edited and published by current undergraduate, M.A., and Ph.D. students in the social sciences. The focus of the journal is on critical or heterodox approaches to issues of economic methodology and theory, history of economic thought, economic history, political economy, and economic policy. All heterodox traditions within the social sciences—including, but not limited to, Marxist, Institutionalist, Post Keynesian, Austrian, Feminist, and Poststructuralist/Postmodern—are welcome in the journal. Oeconomicus is sponsored by the Economics Club at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) and is published annually.

 

We are currently accepting submissions for our 2008-2009 issue and welcome students at all levels to submit full-length articles, book reviews, interviews or comments. Submissions should be no more that 5000 words and in MS Word format. Submissions and enquiries should be sent to the editors at karol.gil@umkc.edu. The deadline for submissions is December 10th, 2008. For further information about detailed instructions for authors, the journal, the Economics Club and/or the UMKC Economic Department please visit our website http://cas.umkc.edu/econ/Oeconomicus/.
