Athens: Economy and Democracy. Conference Cambridge, UK, 9–10 July 2020

by ·

Organisers: Daniel Jew (NUS), Sitta von Reden (Freiburg), Robin Osborne (Cambridge)
This conference marks the retirement of Paul Millett, one of the most prominent of Finley’s students in economic history. We seek to focus on the city illuminated by Paul’s work: to attempt to understand the operation of the Athenian economy in detail, and to investigate its relationship to the structures, institutions and practices of democracy.
Speakers: Claire Taylor (Wisconsin-Madison), Emily Greenwood (Yale), Emily Mackil (Berkeley), Jon Hesk (St Andrews), Jonathan Hall (Chicago), Mark Lawall (Manitoba), Moritz Hinsch (Humboldt), Noémie Villacèque (Reims), Paulin Ismard (Panthéon-Sorbonne), Ralph Anderson (St Andrews).

All welcome. If you wish to attend, please contact Daniel Jew (danieljew@nus.edu.sg). We regret that no accommodation can be provided beyond that for speakers.
