The Emile
Grunberg Lecture Series |
The Emile Grunberg Lecture Series was
inaugurated by the Department of
Economics and Buchtel College of Arts and
Sciences on April 28, 1988. The Series
honors the late Emile Grunberg, professor
emeritus and eminent scholar in the
fields of economic methodology and the
philosophy of science. Professor Grunberg
had a long and distinguished career. His
publication record spans over 50 years --
from 1932 to 1986 and includes scholarly
articles published in German, French, and
English, as well as some translated into
Italian. He taught at the University of
Akron from 1946 to 1948 and at Carnegie
Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon)
from 1948 to 1956. Professor Grunberg
returned to teach at the University of
Akron in 1956 until his retirement in
1973. He was department head from 1956 to
1969.
Nobel Laureate Herbert A. Simon, Carnegie-Mellon
University, delivered the first Lecture
to honor Professor Grunberg, his long-time
friend and former colleague at Carnegie-Mellon.
Other former colleagues and students came
from all across this country as well as
from foreign countries, including Greece,
France and Belgium to attend the
inaugural lecture.
The lectures are intended to be of
general interest while providing the
insight of eminent scholars in the field
of economics. Each lecturer is free to
present a topic of his or her choice. The
topic of each lecture is one that
represents the current work of the
presenter rather than a review of past
material.
