The purpose of this wiki is to promote best teaching practices in economics, particularly those practices that might encourage women, students of color, and members of other underrepresented groups to continue their study of economics. Here, economics departments and faculty can both disseminate and discover prescriptions for improving their teaching and the inclusiveness of the discipline.
The teaching strategies offered here are presented alongside evidence supporting their effectiveness and practical suggestions for easy implementation. Please spend time browsing the site; many of the strategies are effective and straightforward to incorporate.
The wiki also provides data describing patterns of participation in our professional and opportunities for 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.
