Abstract: The AEA/ASSA 2025 Annual Meetings hosted a session “A Fresh Look at the Future of the Intermediate Microeconomics Course,†extended in this issue as a symposium, offering papers covering the state of intermediate microeconomics courses (Hoyt, Marshall, O’Sullivan, Patel, & Underwood, 2025) and crossing from the discussion of modernizing what we teach (Halliday & Mamunuru, 2025) to how we teach it (Jacobson & Viceisza, 2025). In this paper, I offer some thoughts on how these projects viewed together may offer a starting point for the discussion of how intermediate microeconomics courses might need to evolve and where there is a need for more educational research to light the path ahead.
