Let’s talk rethinking economics – conversation with Sam de Muijnck
Michael Mietz, Sam de Muijnck
Topic: Rethinking the (economics) curriculum
Time: Day 1 (6 September), 14.35-15.35 CET

Do economics students receive a diverse set of 'mental equipment' to critically tackle pressing issues such as climate change, inequality or power imbalances? How can we rethink our economics education? What practical, workable steps could we take right now? Join us in a conversation where we aim to share experiences, think about pluralism and talk change.

Dr. Stephan Harding is a natural scientist that holds a PhD in behavioral ecology from Oxford University.

In 2008, he was the leading scientist in the creation of the Deep Time Walk (DTW), an embodied learning activity in which each meter walked counts as one million years in the history of the planet.
