Month: April 2016

A new two-hour documentary on Smith, “The Real Adam Smith: Markets and Morality,” featuring commentary from Ryan Patrick Hanley, James Otteson, Nick Phillipson, and Eamonn Butler, is airing on PBS this weekend. It is especially of interest for non-academics and student audiences.

Those interested can find exact details on when/where airing in their local PBS markets here: http://www.freetochoosemedia.org/broadcasts/adam_smith/public_tv.php

It’s also available on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6S6pMsKzlI

We encourage you to submit session proposals for two upcoming conferences: the 48th meeting of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) and the annual American Philosophical Society (APA) Central Division meeting.

First, the IASS has the ability to sponsor a session at ASECS, March 30-April 2, 2017, in Minneapolis. The deadline for submission is May 15, 2016. If you have a session to propose, please email speart@richmond.edu so relevant information can be forwarded to you.

Second, the IASS has been invited to sponsor a session at the 2017 American Philosophical Association Central Division meeting, which will be held at the Sheraton Kansas City at Crown Center, Kansas City, MO, March 1-4, 2017. Initial requests are due by August 5, 2016. If you have a session to propose, please email speart@richmond.edu so relevant information can be forwarded to you.

Both conferences provide excellent opportunities for IASS members to obtain good comments about their scholarship.
