This editorial is dedicated ro remind you of the scheduled update for the _Heterodox Economics Directory. _The directory serves as an all-inclusive guide to heterodox economics, but has received less attention over the past years and is, as a consequence, a litte out of date (the most recent edition is from 2016). Thereby an update of the Directory is long overdue and I am somewhat relieved to announce that we are planning such an update for the second half of 2023.

Nonetheless, it seems evident that we cannot do this update alone – instead, we depend on inputs from the heterodox community to identify errors, blind-spots and omissions in the current directory that should definitely be corrected before a new (7th!) edition of the Directory (hopefully;-) sees light in early 2024. So, please support our efforts in updating the Directory simply by browsing the Directory

• … to identify omissions, errors, dated material or blind-spots regarding the institutes, associations, journals or study programs you are involved with.
• … to suggest novel entries covering academic initiatives that are not covered by the Directory (e.g. stuff that only emerged in recent years or that has already been overlooked in previous editions).
• … to identify entries that should be removed or relocated, because the underlying activities stopped or changed in orientation.

Of course, any comments going beyond these more narrow tasks are also highly welcome and will be appreciated. While we are currently still preparing the technical infrastructure necessary to actually edit the Directory in a comprehensible way, we will already start soliciting your suggestions from now on – simply email your observations, recommendations or inputs related to how to improve the Directory to newsletter@heterodoxnews.com.

Many thanks for your efforts and best!

PS: Some of you might also be interested in this lengthy and very accurate piece on Frederic S. Lee, the founder of both the Heterodox Economics Newsletter as well as the Heterodox Economics Directory that has been published in the magazine Strange Matters. As you will find, Fred was not only a wonderful person and dedicated community builder, but also covered huge branches of economics to contribute to the revival and further development of heterodox theorizing.
