Presentation Submission
We are looking for people to submit ideas for 10-minute presentations on any topic that they think will be of interest to people involved with economics education at the university level. This can include topics that relate to what happens in the classroom and/or online, your perspectives on assessment, how you approach student support and a whole lot more. The presentation can be a reflection on your own experience, research in progress or a paper that is almost ready for publication. We are interested in topics that engage the audience and provide insights on what it is like to teach in our ever-evolving world.
