Hello
there,
Last Tuesday, I represented the Greenwich Pluralism in Economics Society at the Bank
of England at an event entitled ‘Revisiting the State of Economics Education’.
It was a full-day conference hosted by the Economics Network at the University
of Bristol (http://www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/) and it was great to see
active involvement in debate about how economics education could improve. For
more information on this, check out Rethinking Economics: http://www.rethinkeconomics.org/
Meanwhile,
things are heating up for University of Greenwich Economics students right now!
Deadlines for more than half of our coursework are at the beginning of April. One
of the 3 assignments due is a 5500-word ‘Patchwork’ coursework project that is
made up of many sections, covering Macroeconomics and Microeconomics.
At
this point in the year, it is important that spare time is used effectively and
any procrastination is undertaken in an efficient and productive manner!
On
Tuesday I will be participating in a cooking competition called ‘Broke
Masterchef’. It is a student-organised event similar to the TV show (which I
don’t watch) but all teams will have to scramble over a table of ingredients
that you would typically find leftover in a student fridge! We will then get
half an hour to produce the best dish we can, and there will be two prizes; one
for the tastiest dish, and one for the most creative. Here is a link to the
event: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Broke-MasterChef/872688126105597
I
still practice regularly in two bands. With one of them, we are getting songs
together to release an EP. The other one is a 3-piece instrumental band playing
anything we think sounds good, ranging from jazz, to trip-hop, post-rock and
chillout (so pretty open-minded). We are actually looking for a singer at the
moment, so if you’ve got some nice vocal chords, drop us a line: saloonjazzmusic@gmail.com
