Teaching Philosophy & Resources

My favorite things about economics are the perspective and tools it gave me to view and understand the world. I try to share this with my students by starting with practical questions and using current & historical events as examples in the classroom. Some academic work is unavoidable in college (go figure). But, for the most part, I try to encourage and incorporate live discussions, debate, media sources, and practical application wherever I can in my courses. I like to believe this approach makes the next generation of voters & consumers better prepared and more informed.
