A Note from the Editors:
Welcome people! You may or may not have seen our article in The Guardian last week: http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/oct/24/students-post-crash-economics
This article is key for us, and gives us a strong platform to appeal for support, and to raise a wider awareness of the problems we face as students of Economics. A brief rundown of these issues can be viewed in our Constitution, over here – http://www.post-crasheconomics.com/
We will shortly be releasing a report with the aim of broadly examining the education we receive at university, and outlining our own ideas of curriculum change, and how we as a society feel higher education can be improved.
Please drop any comments on the Guardian article, or our work as a society on the bottom of this post, and if you’d like to get involved, get in touch or have any questions, fire an email over to: post.crasheconomics@gmail.com
We’re also after writers, budding theorists, philosophers, mathematicians and just about anyone with any kind of angle on the economic world to join in our discussions! If you’d like to blog for us, drop any ideas you have over to postcrashblog@gmail.com
In the meantime, please have a scout of this page and tell us what you think of our articles and blognotes so far: we’ve got a small piece on the banking system over here, a thorough brief of our up and coming reading group just here and a smart preview of one of our success stories, a voluntary undergraduate module at the University of Manchester that aims to take a look at alternative theories of economic crisis. We have plenty more in the pipeline over the coming week as well.
Finally, thankyou so much for the support over the past week. It’s beyond inspiring to know that people do appreciate the work we’re putting in, and that there are people out there who agree with our project. That said, constructive critcism is always welcome: we want to build a forum of critical conversation on this site and in this exact spirit, make sure you jot down any opinions on our work on this site for us to engage in.
