Date: September 19-21, 2024
Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA
The Center for Governance and Markets (CGM) at the University of Pittsburgh is pleased to co-host the Ninth WINIR Conference: Institutional Resilience and Recovery, organized in collaboration with the World Interdisciplinary Network for Institutional Research (WINIR). This conference will explore the resilience of governance systems and their ability to respond to and recover from crises such as economic downturns, political instability, and environmental calamities. Given recent global events, the need for a deeper interdisciplinary understanding of how institutions rebuild and adapt in the face of crises is more critical than ever.
Conference Overview:
This event will focus on the processes and mechanisms through which institutions recover and adapt, using Pittsburgh and the broader Rust Belt region as a case study of economic reinvention and social adaptation. The conference will feature a mix of empirical analyses, theoretical advancements, and case studies, drawing parallels with Pittsburgh’s journey and offering contrasting narratives of change from around the world.
Keynote Speakers:
Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University, USA)
Tymofiy Mylovanov (Kyiv School of Economics, Ukraine & University of Pittsburgh, USA)
Additional Information:
The conference will open in the afternoon of Thursday, September 19, and conclude with a dinner on Saturday, September 21, where the 2024 Elinor Ostrom Prize and the JOIE Reviewer of the Year Award will be announced. An optional tour will be available on Sunday, September 22.
The conference will be preceded by a WINIR Young Scholars Workshop on Wednesday, September 18, with a separate call for papers to be circulated.
