Potential of Plural Economics for Teaching and Research -
Critical perspective of economic paradigms
What can you expect?
Taking a plural economics perspective, this webinar explored how
heterodox perspectives can expand teaching and research beyond current
boundaries.
Katy Shields (Founder and Course Director of the Regenerative Economy
Lab; Co-Creator of the documentary series Tipping Point: The True Story
of The Limits to Growth) opened the discussion with her insights into
regenerative approaches and critical economic thinking.
Prof. Dr. Anthony Patt (Professor of Climate Policy and Head of the
Climate Policy Lab at ETH Zurich; IPCC Coordinating Lead Author)
discussed the policy relevance of economic paradigms. Drawing on his work
at the science-policy interface, he outlined his perspective on
plural economics and how he integrates heterodox approaches into his
teaching and advice on climate policy.
