“…53 During the 1970s political economy was often described as "male-dominated 'professional ghetto'." 54 As Janine Brodie recounts her time as a graduate student in the late 1970s and early 1980s at Carleton, "…it was totally frustrating.

Building the New Canadian Political Economy: Oral histories of an intellectual community in the 1960s and 1970sBy Chris Hurl and Benjamin Christensen Abstract:Since the late-1960s, the New Canadian Political Economy (NCPE) has played an important role in shaping the trajectory of the social sciences in Canada and informing the political goals and strategies of a range of progressive social movements. However, there have been few studies that have attempted to trace the history of the NCPE as a distinctive intellectual tradition or account for its place in consolidating a left political milieu in Canada outside of Quebec. Exploring the NCPE as a part of a wider left formation, this article examines the role played by organic intellectuals in building this tradition. Drawing from eleven oral history interviews and archival analysis, we begin by locating these intellectuals in the disciplinary struggles unfolding within social science departments through this period. We then explore how, working through networks between the academy and progressive social movements, intellectuals were able to consolidate a space for the revitalization of this approach. Beyond simply acting as purveyors of new ideas, we argue that these intellectuals also played a vital role in establishing the institutional foundations -in texts, seminars, and meeting roomsthrough which the NCPE took shape as both an academic discipline and political discourse.

It is also relevant for revealing various local challenges confronting a place-based approach to development when compared against the agricultural regions from which much of the post-productivist literature is derived (Mackintosh, 1969;Drache, 1976).…”
