The first session of our 1st year UG economics module and here is the 2021 edition of what @StirUni students think economists should be addressing. Inequality, poverty, and climate are key, but also important questions of colonialism, racism, and vaccine inequality. @coreeconteam

Really enjoyed contributing my views for this 👇We spoke quietly of the uncomfortable truths of assessment that existed pre-pandemic: authenticity and integrity. As our campuses awaken, we revert back to type at our peril. @StirUni @StirUniNews

Is it time to reassess student assessment? Is the traditional exam really obsolete? Seven academics share their thoughts @sbabones, @DrKatyBarnett @Dr_Oli_Jones bit.ly/3BnTdXK

Super happy to see that my paper is getting coverage. And surprised to have found out that it was also covered in The Times last weekend. Some thoughts on trailed policy response 1/4

#EconTwitter, I want to share a paper that @Mirko_Moro , @evaamoore and I have had published in @cepr_org Covid Economics. Did reopening universities increase #COVID19 cases in the second wave? We provide evidence that yes, it did. 🧵👇🏼 (1/10) #Paper1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cepr.org/sites/default/…

And this summer, we will have a paid student intern with lived experience to work with us in decolonising our undergraduate economics programme at Stirling! @EconStir @StirUni @Stir_LearnTeach

A year on from the toppling of the Colston statue in Bristol, we ask: what does it mean to decolonise the economics curriculum? tinyurl.com/eco-decolonise By @economics_net Director Alvin Birdi & @danielle_guizzo #Bristol #Colston @mshedbristol #TeachEcon #EconTwitter #decolonise

A project from @StirUni aims to calculate the economic costs of the environmental damages associated with marine plastic. The study aims to identify incentives that would encourage a joined-up approach to tackling pollution. More here ➡️ bit.ly/2TwjwcY #EUGreenWeek

Very happy to have contributed to this - just because the exam halls might be opening, we need to ask ourselves why we were there in the first place. Authentic digital assessments that promote creativity and employability should be the rule, not the exception. #HigherEducation

New report, ‘rethinking assessment’ with @emergelab describes ‘a widespread explosion of experimentation' since the pandemic began, with universities now offering exams that are flexible, adaptable, and relevant to students ji.sc/3oFSviQ
