No Comments on Video: Decolonising Economics: What does it mean and how is it done?

In November 2020, I attended a really interesting panel on decolonising Economics at the Bristol Festival of Ideas, curated by Carolina Alves of D-Econ and chaired by Romesh Vaitilingam of the Economics Observatory. Along with Fadekemi Abiru, Surbhi Kesar, and Farwa Sia, I discussed Decolonising Economics: What does it mean and how is it done? You can view the recording here.

D-Econ also hosted another panel on decolonising economics, with Carolina Alves, Keston Perry, Imran Rasul, and Rhonda Vonshay Sharpe. Watch it here:Why Diversifying and Decolonising Economics Matters to Everyone .

No Comments on Video: Why so Hostile? Busting Myths about Heterodox Economics

Back in May I had the pleasure of speaking to Rethinking Economics Norway about what heterodox economics means and how and why it is often misunderstood. They have now published the video online. The talk was based on this blog post and this working paper with my brilliant co-author Carolina Alves.

No Comments on New issue of The New School Economic Review (NSER)

Last week the 8th volume of the New School Economic Review (NSER) was released! This was a huge accomplishment for us after having worked on this issue for a whole year. The issue had a record number of submissions, so we have had to coordinate with a growing number of reviewers to make sure we gave each submission a fair assessment. We’re very pleased with the final outcome, so please take a look! This is the second volume I have worked on as Executive Editor (also volume 7), but I am now stepping down in order to give others the opportunity to do this job as well as to give myself more time to work on my own research. You can still submit to Vol. 9: The deadline is March 15th!

No Comments on Africa: Why Economists Get It Wrong

Some colleagues in the YSI Economic Development group and I organized a discussion with economic historian Morten Jerven a couple of weeks ago, which was interesting and thought-provoking. The talk was largely based on his book Africa: Why Economists Get It Wrong. Here are some reactions we had to the presentation.
