Critical students, academics, teachers, professors, this is your time to shine! Build the new economics education with us and Steve Keen on December 12th!
After working long days and nights, we will start off the evening by presenting the preliminary results of our Curriculum Research. Which economics bachelors at Dutch universities score the best on diversity in theories and methods, interdisciplinarity, relevance to the real word, and critical thinking?
Then Steve will give the keynote speech about economics education at Kingston University, where he is Head of School of Economics. Kingston has heard the call for more pluralism, and made strides in diversifying their economics education. What does it mean to be an economist in the 21st century? And what can the Netherlands learn from the experiences at Kingston?
After the keynote we will have a panel discussion and Q&A session about putting pluralism in practice at Dutch universities and in the public debate. What are the opportunities and challenges? Speakers are still to be confirmed. Speakers will be announced over the next few weeks.
We hope to see you there!
(This evening is is part of the ESB Week of Economics Education, a week full of discussion about the state of economics education in the Netherlands)
