Work history
Crash-Course Producer
- London, United KingdomFreelance
www.ecnmy.org is a public education project which aims to educate, entertain and campaign. The 'Learn' section of the website demystifies economic theory and debates in a way that is accessible for the General Public, and aims to bridge the knowledge gap between economists and citizens. We also provide up to date commentary on the news and current events, that talks about economics in a fun but informative way. Behind the scenes we are working with economists and the media to make economics publications more understandable.
I am also working on a series of DIY workshops that explore 10 areas of economics in a fun and accessible way. The workshops are designed so that anyone can facilitate them, and that groups of friends and colleagues can explore and learn about economics together.
