Starting a List of Resources

August 07, 2014

by Diana Greenwald | Filed in: Resources

One of the greatest barriers to successful interdisciplinary research is the ability to find resources outside of one’s field. This page will help break down that barrier by listing the names of journals, scholars, and conferences that are relevant to researchers interested in the relationship between art and economics. This is the beginning of a list of people, publications and other resources that breach this divide. The list is, roughly, divided by discipline. This is very much a preliminary list based on personal research and experience. If you have any suggestions for items to add or subtract, please email diana.greenwald@wadh.ox.ac.uk
