Annie L. Cot is currently a full professor of economics emerita at the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and a researcher at the Centre d'économie de la Sorbonne. She is the founder of the REhPERE research network (Research in Epistemology and Recent History of Economic Thought). Her PhD thesis, The Economy Beyond Itself: An Essay on Neo-Utilitarianism (L'économie hors d'ellemême, Essai sur le néo-utilitarisme, University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne; jury: Albert O. Hirschman, Hubert Brochier, Bernard Ducros, Xavier Greffe, Henri Bartoli), examined the shifting boundaries of the economics discipline from Jeremy Bentham to Gary S. Becker.
Her research has focused on the following areas:
* the history, historiography, and philosophy of economic theories, both past and present, and their links with: (1) other disciplines, such as sociology, law, mathematics, statistics, thermodynamics, biology, social psychology, cognitive sciences; (2) moral and political philosophy, or social ideologies, like the Eugenics movement in the US Progressive Era. Some examples include: Gary S. Becker and the 'economic approach to human behavior'; Irving Fisher and the American eugenics movement; John Maynard Keynes and the reception of The Economic Consequences of the Peace; Edmond Malinvaud and the post-war methodological debates; Gabriel Tarde and economic psychology; Charles Gide and the cooperative movement; Pierre Bourdieu and the role of economic metaphors in sociology; the question of women's economic status as a lever for analyzing economic theories throughout history; the history of the emergence of experimental economics.
* the importance of 'national traditions' in structuring the discipline, with a focus on two major traditions: (1) the emergence and development of North American marginalist and institutionalist theories since the Progressive Era, and (2) the French economic tradition from the late nineteenth century to the post-WWII years.
* the renewal of the discipline's historiography, either by authors new to the genre (such as Michel Foucault, or Albert O. Hirschman), or by new subjects, like the role of metaphors in shaping economic discipline; the importance of seminars, journals, and academic newspapers in developing and disseminating economic theories; mobilization of the notion of 'horizon of expectation', which was established in literary theory by the School of Constance, or the framework of 'travelling models' recently developed in anthropology.
* some more specific research themes include the philosophical, economic and legal traditions of utilitarianism; or the shifting boundary between market and non-market objects, and the latter's modes of analysis in economic theory.

Kseniia Lopukh is an Associate Professor at the Department of Economic Theory, Macroeconomics and Microeconomics at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. She holds a PhD in Economic Theory and History of Economic Thought (2014, Kyiv National Economic University). She teaches courses in the history of economic thought, economic history, economic policy and institutions, new political economy, and development theory. She has published over 55 scholarly and teaching articles.

Her research interests include the history of Ukrainian economic thought, monetarism and monetary policy, gender economics, and the role of institutions in economic development. Her current project, The History of Economic Thought in Ukraine: Development and Identity from 1861 to 1922, examines how Ukrainian economists developed distinctive approaches to political economy and addressed local challenges, including industrialization, agrarian reform, and national independence, within the imperial structures of the Russian Empire and in dialogue with Western European traditions.

She hopes that her background in the history of economic thought, combined with her ability to connect economic theory with broader historical and institutional perspectives, will make her an attractive candidate for the ESHET Executive Council. In return, she aims to contribute to ESHET during a period of renewal and expansion, focusing her energies on strengthening the visibility of Eastern European scholarship within the international community.
