Teaching Ecological and Feminist Economics in the Principles Course

Neva Goodwin and Julie Nelson

No 15570, Working Papers from Tufts University, Global Development and Environment Institute

Abstract: It can be difficult to incorporate ecological and feminist concerns into introductory courses based on neoclassical analysis. We have faced these issues head-on as we have worked on writing introductory economics textbooks, Microeconomics in Context (Goodwin, Nelson, Ackerman and Weisskopf, 2005) and Macroeconomics in Context (in progress). In this essay, we will describe how we have modified the introductory curriculum to encompass these perspectives.
