methodology, including ethical aspects of economics and the foundations of
rational choice theory. Submissions that focus on methodological and
philosophical issues related to poverty, inequality and development are
particularly welcome. We especially encourage submissions from graduate
students and members of underrepresented groups. Graduate students whose
abstracts are accepted for inclusion in the programme will have travel and
accommodation (in on-campus residences) expenses, other than airfare,
covered by INEM.

Abstract submission
Please submit an abstract (300-500 words) on the online abstract submission
form at the following link: http://www.inem2015.co.za/. Be sure to indicate
whether you are a graduate student. To facilitate efforts by accepted
contributors to secure institutional funding, acceptances will be
communicated on a rolling basis within one month of submission. However, no
submissions will be considered after September 10, 2015.

Symposia proposal submission
Please submit a description of a symposium (1,500-2,000 words) to

the papers. Please prepare the description for anonymous review and submit
it as an attachment (*.pdf). Please include the contact details of the
