    Researching and teaching heterodox and pluralist economics

    Lina Isacs, Pernilla Andersson

    Topic: Rethinking the (economics) curriculum

    Time: Day 1 (6 September), 10.45-12.15 CET

    Room: FR-0.15

     

    We are researchers in educational sciences and ecological economics in Sweden with an interest in establishing a research environment that could be the home of courses on different levels, a research school and research projects in strands of economics that do not yet exist (in our geographical area). We also have a particular interest in researching and developing teaching in heterodox and pluralist economics. We would like to meet at the Higher Education Summit to find allies with the same interests of researching both heterodox and pluralist economics and new ways of teaching economics, i.e. teaching that enable students to grasp with the complex and dynamic relationships between economic, social and ecological dimensions of sustainability. Anyone with the same interests can join!

    How does one develop change agent competencies in higher economic education, in which a new paradigm needs to be cultivated? Our experiences so far motivate us to share our insights and research the Transformational Leadership Program of the master Circular Economy (HAN, the Netherlands) on the topic of ‘paradigm shift through self-awareness’ with aims to define the principles for effective educational design. In this network studio I would like to invite participants to discuss ways I can best go about my research, after a demonstration of used techniques.

    UN PRME is a global network that gathers business schools and faculties worldwide to become generators of a sustainable global economy and to manage the complex challenges faced by business and society in the 21st century.

The PRME Chapter France-Benelux, founded in 2017, is among those regional chapters and currently counts 58 members, including 7 from Belgium.

    As a regional network focused on responsible management education, we organize a meeting for (potential) members and partners during the Higher Education Summit, with the aim of disseminating our work and creating opportunities for new memberships and partnerships in the region. We will introduce ongoing projects during the session, such as the PRME and LEGO Project “The Impactful Five (i5): Learning in Leadership Education”; the PRME Global Students (PGS) Movement; the PRME World Tour for Research. We will also provide space for brainstorming on potential future collaborations between session participants and motivate participants to share their best practices during our next event at Rotterdam School of Management on 13-14 October 2022.

    Design for social innovation – let’s build a multidisciplinary network for practitioners!

    Pierre Echard, Natasha Daix, Joy Sfeir

    Topic: Co-creative, transformative learning environments

    Time: Day 2 (7 September), 10.20-11.50 CET

    Room: FR-2.02

     

    Join us to build the foundations for an action-learning network which could monitor opportunities, broker relations, connect expertise, learn, and showcase social and environmental innovation. A network where creatives from visual arts, design and spatial arts, could connect with all other disciplines, to co-create learning journeys and field-based action research projects. As an artistic institution we have many of the required the creative skills, but we are interested connecting with social and hard scientists, engineers, policy makers, experts in education, in mobility, nutrition, migration etc. to fully address systemic challenges.
