TeachECONference2024
Fifth Annual Virtual Conference
Online video-poster sessions: from June 17, 2024
Online live presentations: June 24-26 2024,
3-7pm BST/10am-2pm EDT
Welcome to TeachECONference2024, the fifth annual virtual conference on economics education organised by Centre for Teaching and Learning Economics (CTaLE) and Cornell University. TeachECONference takes place online, and everyone is welcome to join us.
As in previous years, the conference will have two parts: from June 17, our online video-poster sessions and from June 24 to 26 our online live presentations. The live portion of the conference will include four presentation sessions on current research and practice in economics education and two lively panel sessions. The first panel will discuss how we should be training economics instructors to teach, and in the second panel we will bring in education experts from other disciplines to talk about what we have in common (and not) with teaching elsewhere in the university. At the end of each day, we will host a Networking Mixer where participants and speakers can chat and mingle.
Help us to keep TeachECONference free!
We are very proud that TeachECONference provides a free opportunity for economics educators around the world to connect and share good practice and research. This year, we are requesting any of you who are able to pay a voluntary registration fee of £20.00 so that we can continue to keep it free for those who are unable to do so (e.g. junior colleagues, those in under-resourced positions and in developing countries etc).
