Diversifying and Decolonising Economics (D-Econ)
@DivDecEcon
First-of-its-kind radical initiative that seeks to diversify & decolonise Economics, both in terms of identity and approach. One without the other isn't enough.
What is D-Econ about? We recently updated our mission statement, check it out: d-econ.org/mission/ In short, we aim to decolonise and diversify the economics field both in terms of its academic content and institutional structures, to ultimately achieve a more just society.
Join our discussion on decolonizing economics, the university & the space for radical thinking and activism at our upcoming Launch Event for the D-Econ Padlet! Chirashree Das Gupta, Tom Six & Amaarah Garda will join as speakers + Afreen Faridi will chair. d-econ.org/decolonising-e…
