[Diversifying and Decolonising Economics (D-Econ) @DivDecEcon]

Covering themes ranging from macro-structural issues to organisation of everyday life, Cantillon, @OdileMackett & @SaraStevano provide a rich understanding of the interplay between gender, class, race, and other social dimensions within the global economic system.

⚖ How can inequality be understood from a broader perspective beyond income + wealth?

The revised Chapter 10 of Microeconomics in Context analyzes the relation between economic inequality + well-being, with data on national and international inequality: https://t.co/OrRAVXOSPh

[Sara Stevano @SaraStevano]

Just read this very nice piece by @ckdwarkasing explaining how she approaches the teaching of advanced microeconomics from a heterodox/pluralist perspective @SOASEconomics
It's in the new Teaching Heterodox Economics Magazine edited by @DallaireLea: https://t.co/m4H61tn7Vh.

It is crucial that students learn about such contributions in a critical way, although there is a lot to celebrate. It is educators’ responsibility to help students get the full picture, and how to critically evaluate the work of economists. #TeachEcon #NobelPrize #EconTwitter

[The Centre for Economy Studies @econstudies]

The Nobel in Economics, Claudia Goldin, presents a valuable opportunity to involve students in discussions led by a female economist and explore gender dynamics in the labor market. This article however serves as a great example of how we can analyse her work in a nuanced manner

[Surbhi Kesar @SurbhiKesar]

In today's @HTtweets, @rosaabraham6 and I reflect on the works of the 2023 Nobel in Economics, Claudia Goldin - some of the key contributions, relevance for India, and where it falls short.

[The Centre for Economy Studies @econstudies]

Although her contribution explores an important gender inequality in an historic fashion it does not explore the intersection of other inequalities as discussed by @SurbhiKesar and @rosaabraham6 https://t.co/rMrPkBpXM9

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve.

The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding women’s responsibilities for home and family.

This has become one of my favourite slides when explaning to my students that there are different ways to do economics and, therefore, to conceptualise ‘the economy’

Thank you, @SandyDarity, for writing this paper!

[The Centre for Economy Studies @econstudies]

A great example of a way to diversify and engage students!
Students write a bio of a 'Great Economist' from a pre-chosen list, their contribution, how it links to class content, and their own lives.

What economists do you recommend to put on the list?

In line with one of our care principles, values needs to be included in edu. "Students should be taught how values matter to the material they are learning, what alternative value systems might be coupled with the descriptive theories they are learning..." #econed #econtwitter
