Lisa Saunders on Teaching Theory Inclusively
Associate Professor | Economics

"The interdependent utility exercise helps many students realise they can do economics without accepting theories and policy perspectives that do not reflect their values or solve problems important to them."

In an article on teaching theory in Economics classes, Dr. Lisa Saunders (Economics) explains how a particular active learning exercise can help students better understand the concepts of rational choice and independenty utility.
