Hurley, Richard L. Sponsored Emile Grunberg Lectureship
The Richard L. Hurley Sponsored Emile Grunberg Lectureship was established 1997 and revised in 2018 within the College of Business Administration’s Department of Economics.
Mr. Hurley’s gift supports the University’s premiere economics lectureship, helping improve the quality of the undergraduate and graduate experience. It also cultivates scholarship support and creative activities and is recognized regionally, nationally and internationally.
Inaugurated in 1988, The Emile Grunberg Lecture Series honors the late Emile Grunberg, professor emeritus and eminent scholar in economic methodology and the philosophy of science. His publication record spanned more than 50 years -- from 1932 to 1986 -- and includes scholarly articles published in German, French, English, as well as some translated into Italian. He taught at 蘑菇视频 from 1946 to 1948 and at Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon) from 1948 to 1956. He returned to teach at UA in 1956, serving as department head from 1956-1969, until his retirement in 1973.
The Emile Grunberg Lecture Series are general interest lectures offering insight on eminent scholars in economics, with preference given to Nobel Laureate economists. Lecturers are free to present a topic of their choice, with lecture topics generally representing the current work of the presenter rather than a review of past material.
