I gave a paper at the first one and glad that the 2nd edition is happening. Do check out this call for papers by New Political Economy Initiative. Folks at NPEI are trying to start/revitalize important conversations around economy-society interface @Srishting @mtonykurian

[Srishti Yadav @Srishting]

How do social institutions structure economic processes and outcomes?

If your work speaks to this question, apply for the 2nd edition of the New Approaches to Economy & Society workshop. @mtonykurian & I are hosting in collaboration w the New Political Economy Initiative @ IITB
