| + | The purpose of this wiki is to promote best teaching practices in economics. We wish to provide a place for economics departments and faculty to disseminate and to discover data, analyses, and prescriptions for improving the inclusiveness of the discipline. We also wish to encourage thoughtful reflection on why inclusion and diversity are important to the future of economic theory and policymaking and on how the choices of instructors and gatekeepers affect student participation and achievement. | ||
