Post Keynesian Economics Society Summer School 2025

Sunday 22nd – Wednesday 25th of June 2025

University of Greenwich, London

The annual PKES summer school on post-Keynesian Economics and Political Economy is back. Spend three days discussing topics in heterodox economics with leading economists and a group of peers with likeminded research interests. This year’s summer school offers a topics-based introduction to post-Keynesian economics and Political Economy, including: growth and distribution, fiscal policy and austerity, ecological and environmental macroeconomics, money and finance, development, feminist economics, and income and wealth inequality.

The school is aimed at undergraduate students and is an ideal basis for those wishing to continue postgraduate study on the aforementioned topics. We will however also consider applications from postgraduate students. The summer school will be held from Sunday 22 to Wednesday 25th June 2025 at the University of Greenwich’s fantastic campus in London.

Registration is open and places are available, with and without accommodation, prices start at £40. There is a limited number of spaces which will be allocated on a first come first served basis. More information can be found on the PKES website.

In order to book your place please follow this link: BOOK HERE

Bookings are open until 11th June, 11pm. However, we advise booking early to get early access to the relevant reading material in advance of the summer school. Reading material will be sent out to registered participants on 30 May and 12 June.

The summer school is jointly organised by the Post-Keynesian Economic Society and the Institute of Political Economy Governance Finance and Accountability (PEGFA) at the University of Greenwich. We would like to thank the Cambridge Political Economy Society Trust and PEGFA for their generous financial support.
