Pluralism and teaching a 'women in the economy' course over time
In the USA, courses on 'women in the economy' (WIE) have provided an avenue for exploring the economic status of women and bringing a gender lens to the analysis and discussion of economic trends, outcomes, and public policies in the undergraduate economics curriculum. WIE courses are taught at universities and colleges with programs strongly rooted in neoclassical economics, as well as those that are more pluralistic, and consequently may reflec…
Teaching labour economics
Bridging the gap between the microeconomic models that have come to comprise much of the content of undergraduate labour economics textbooks and the 'real world' has posed a challenge for many instructors of labour economics. This essay considers the advantages of pluralistic approaches to teaching labour economics and how such courses might be reconceptualised in light of the COVID-19 crisis
Public Scholarship and Economics
Public scholarship is an emerging pedagogical practice that integrates teaching, research, and service in ways that expand student learning by tackling critical, topical problems and generating real solutions. This paper describes the use of a course on women and the economy in two widely disparate institutions to demonstrate the process of integrating public scholarship in economics

Ethnic identity…

Single Mother Families and the Dual Welfare State
The economic status of children in single families should be topic of great concern to U.S. policymakers. In recent paper, Irwin Garfinkel and Sara McLanahan report that [m]ore than half of the current generation of children will live with single before reaching age eighteen, and many of these children will spend their entire childhood with single mother (Garfinkel and McLanahan, 1992, p. 1). This is particularly significant because children livi…
What's in a number? Gender bias and ideology in economic statistics
Growing concern about the social and economic status of women has fostered inquiry into the nature and extent of their economic activity. Such studies have drawn attention to the inadequacy of data in this area. Scholars in both the industrialized and developing nations argue that traditional statistical measures of production and employment tend to underrepresent the economic activity and contribution of women. The problem is rooted in the defin…
