A People's Economics: Building Critical Economics Education from "Under the Surface"

Reorient your thinking about economics from the bottom up! Just as Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States challenged traditional narratives in history education, we need approaches to economics education that question the status quo.

This workshop introduces "bottom-up" approaches that draw on the lived experiences of students and their communities. You'll learn how to help students generate their own economic insights and build toward civic action. Five U.S.-based Econiful members will win a copy of Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth.
