The first session of our 1st year UG economics module and here is the 2021 edition of what @StirUni students think economists should be addressing. Inequality, poverty, and climate are key, but also important questions of colonialism, racism, and vaccine inequality. @coreeconteam

[Paul Cowell @pauldcowell]

Really enjoyed contributing my views for this 👇We spoke quietly of the uncomfortable truths of assessment that existed pre-pandemic: authenticity and integrity. As our campuses awaken, we revert back to type at our peril. @StirUni @StirUniNews

Want to study undergraduate #economics where innovative, research-led teaching is underpinned by real world application? Don't take our word for it - we've just been voted top 3 in the UK for student satisfaction and 1st in Scotland, both for the second year running! #NSS2021

Super happy to see that my paper is getting coverage. And surprised to have found out that it was also covered in The Times last weekend. Some thoughts on trailed policy response 1/4

[Paul Cowell @pauldcowell]

Delighted to have shared @StirUni teaching impact award with such fantastic colleagues, especially @KylieBradfield. Though technically my 3rd year in a row winning it, this year means more - AY20/21 was truly a collaborative effort! @StirManSchool @Stir_LearnTeach #stirlt21

[Hector Rufrancos @heelguru]

#EconTwitter, I want to share a paper that @Mirko_Moro , @evaamoore and I have had published in @cepr_org Covid Economics. Did reopening universities increase #COVID19 cases in the second wave?

We provide evidence that yes, it did. 🧵👇🏼 (1/10)

And this summer, we will have a paid student intern with lived experience to work with us in decolonising our undergraduate economics programme at Stirling! @EconStir @StirUni @Stir_LearnTeach

[Scotland Europa @ScotlandEuropa]

A project from @StirUni aims to calculate the economic costs of the environmental damages associated with marine plastic.

The study aims to identify incentives that would encourage a joined-up approach to tackling pollution.

Very happy to have contributed to this - just because the exam halls might be opening, we need to ask ourselves why we were there in the first place. Authentic digital assessments that promote creativity and employability should be the rule, not the exception. #HigherEducation

[Hector Rufrancos @heelguru]

Very excited to have opened the @UNUWIDER newsletter to find @EvaEggerPhD article about our paper: Better measures of informality can improve poverty reduction policy https://t.co/jkaH9rzAIz
