More information on the global Rethinking Economics movement:

Rethinking Economics is a global “grassroots” network of students, thinkers, and citizens who seek to give voice to new and marginalized economics narratives that could enrich economic theory, research, and teaching. Rethinking Economics aims to make economics more accessible, diverse, reflective and responsible for the public eye and within academia. Recently, Rethinking Economics has been mentioned in the news for its membership in the International Student Initiative for Pluralism in , Economics (ISIPE), Al Jazeera for its recent London, UK Conference as well as the New York Times following the Rethinking Economics Conference in New York City.

We thank you for spreading the word about this event. We hope to collaborate in the future and look forward to seeing you on February 7!

Sincerely,

Ali Kraushaar & Geoff Evamy Hill
