I am the faculty advisor for both the ODE and Economics club at WSU.
ODE
As part of ODE we have organized two formal debates and engaged in current topics.
ODE event - Debate on the minimum wage
ODE event - Should we cancel student loans (debate)
"A Conversation on Inequality" - presentation and discussion on the topic of inequality from different perspectives. Participants included Dr. Andrew Beauchamp, Dr. Barbara Hopkins, and Dr. Kevin Willardsen.
Starting in Fall of 2024 we have a book club:
Defending the Undefendable - Walter Block
Doughnut Economics - Kate Raworth
Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes and Line their Own Pockets - Peter Schweizer
Economics Club
Consists of weekly meetings:
