The International Adam Smith Society
The International Adam Smith Society was founded in 1995 with two aims: (i) to encourage interdisciplinary scholarly interest in Adam Smith's writings, as well as in topics and issues connected with his writings; and (ii) to provide a forum for the sharing of research and scholarship relating to Adam Smith.
July 2015 Conference
The Society's activities include sponsoring conference sessions in association with other learned societies and promoting communication amongst Smith scholars by providing a regular newsletter for its members. The society sponsors a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal, The Adam Smith Review, published by Routledge.
In June 2001, the society held its first international conference in conjunction with the meeting of the Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies Society. Since then, the Society has regularly sponsored special sessions at the annual meetings of the American Philosophical Society and looks foward to continued collaboration with these and several other scholarly organizations.
We are delighted that the IASS co-sponsored conference website is now up and running, providing information about Glasgow, The University, and accommodation. Details of the programme and registration are available at this link: www.gla.ac.uk/smithrousseau2015
