 omic theory and provided an impetus for new economic thinking. But the the
 oretical debate in the wake of the crisis has been unduly constrained by t
 he terms of the Mainstream approach to economic theory. Professor Sheila D
 ow will highlight some of the Mainstream’s failings and present the comp
 elling case for an inclusive\, Pluralist approach to the study and teachin
 g of economics.\nAbout the speaker\n\nSheila Dow is Emeritus Professor of
