A Newbie’s Guide to Developing a Question-driven and Humanities-infused Course in Economics (Article)
Title: A Newbie’s Guide to Developing a Question-driven and Humanities-infused Course in Economics
Author: Robert Tatum
Abstract: An economics course is developed that utilizes writings from
major thinkers across the ages to explore the question: Can the good life be lived in both moral and material terms? The question-driven course brings economics, philosophy, religion, and classics into dialogue on matters of contemporary importance. This article illustrates how such a course can help students broaden their literacy, develop a wider skill set, as well
as navigate moral questions and interdisciplinary issues. It also illustrates how such a course can better serve diverse students and provide a diversity of thoughts, worldviews, and epistemologies.
