ILRLE 3475
Visualizing Economics: Introducing Basic Economic Concepts with Visual Arts

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

This course proposes a new and innovative approach to learning about economics. If you want to learn in a different manner, if you are attracted to visualizations in general, this course is for you. This course will challenge preconceptions about what economics is. The goal is to use visual arts to illustrate basic economic concepts that are general, and demonstrate how these tools can be used to analyze and understand a variety of human and social phenomena. The idea of using arts to teach a non-arts related topic stems from recent research in neurology suggesting that creative arts aid learning and memorizing. The course focuses on the core concepts and ideas in economics and is meant to be widely accessible.

When Offered Fall or Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ILRLE 2400 or ECON 1110 and ECON 1120.

Comments No background in arts is needed.
