Dr. Charmaine G. Ramos
Charmaine is a development studies scholar, policy analyst and heterodox economist whose work bridges research, practice and teaching. She deploys the lens of political economy to research institutions and late development, with a focus on structural change, resource governance and social policy in Southeast Asia and Latin America. With extensive field experience and over 15 years in international development practice, she brings pluralist, real-world perspectives to economic scholarship and education. She is currently Assistant Professor & Economics Fellow at the University College Utrecht, in Utrecht University.
Dr. Charan van Krevel
Charan is Lecturer in Macroeconomics and International Economics at the University of Amsterdam. He teaches various courses in those topics and in environmental economics and sustainability. Charan has been teaching economics since 2014, always with great enthusiasm. He obtained my PhD from Radboud University from 2017 to 2024, while also being a lecturer. He is very driven to create a fun, open, curiosity-driven experience inside and outside the classroom. Particularly, I aim to foster critical thinking, especially when it comes to teaching materials and teachers (especially myself).
