Creating New Curriculum to Address the Needs of the Time

GDAE Co-Director Neva Goodwin participated in a round-table discussion with Debra Rowe and Rob Johnson. They address what students learn – or should learn – about economics for a sustainable future and how these concepts can be embedded into the courses of multiple disciplines. Recognizing that most students will not go on to be economists, but all will go on to be citizens, the panel asks what content needs to be included, especially in introductory economics courses, that is not usually found there now. This video was filmed as part of the New Economics Institute Conference on “Strategies for a New Economy” at Bard College on June 8, 2012.
