Event Details
On the last day of this year’s Festival, join us for a participatory discussion on how to implement the changes we have been discussing. Michelle will give a brief overview of some of the themes around decolonial scholarship and will invite us to think how these ideas could be used to challenge the way we teach (and learn) economics – and, ultimately, lead to a decolonised curriculum, one that talks about the people studying it.
