I’ve received official acceptance from the International Society for Ecological Economics of my paper about being removed from teaching at the University of Vermont under very questionable circumstances (and hostility to ecological models being presented to students). As I have written, myself and many others believe this was a purge by a gang of arrogant neoliberals bent on removing a critic of the establishment canon known as neoclassical economics — led by an opportunistic chair with her own agenda. The idea that I was not teaching the neoclassical model fully and fairly — the Chair’s trumpeted claim against me — nobody takes seriously. This claim was fully discredited by me before the Vermont Labor Relations Board. Yet the Labor Board, displaying extreme deference to UVM, simply ignored my facts and evidence. Anyway, I am honored to be invited and to participate in the 15th annual conference of the ISEE in Puebla, Mexico. You can view my paper abstract by clicking here.
