Diversifying and Decolonising Economics (D-Econ)

First-of-its-kind radical initiative that seeks to diversify & decolonise Economics, both in terms of identity and approach. One without the other isn't enough.

What is D-Econ about?

We recently updated our mission statement, check it out: https://t.co/zfQZxvMicr

In short, we aim to decolonise and diversify the economics field both in terms of its academic content and institutional structures, to ultimately achieve a more just society.

It provides a stark reflection on how to read the Palestine solidarity movement in wider context of struggles post 2008 & how the struggles highlight the fractures in US politics.
