Unsettling Economics 2018
25-27 June, 2018
The "Unsettling Economics" workshop will gather together 15–25 internationally renowned Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, representatives of Indigenous organizations, civil servants, and students in economics. The three days of the workshop will include training, presentations of innovative research by scholars, and workshops to develop new curricular materials (e.g., course syllabi and case studies).
The workshop will 1) introduce economics researchers to Indigenous histories and cultures and to community engagement models; 2) help foster culturally appropriate models and policies for economic development in Indigenous communities; 3) develop curriculum materials to train economics students; 4) provide a platform for sharing recent research and discussion.
