Faculty of Arts Distinguished Lecture in Economics

Since 2014, the Faculty of Arts Distinguished Lecture in Economics has given students and the broader community access to new ideas and insights in economics.  Lectures have covered topics ranging from Innovation and patents, to jobs, and from child health to inequality. For video recordings of the past lectures please see the links at the bottom of the page.

We believe that these lectures ignite curiosity and cultivate a greater understanding of how economics can contribute to solutions for societies' problems. 

The lecture has been supported by generous donations over the years, providing the financial resources necessary to engage a leading economist to present the public lecture.

Sadly, there will be no lecture this fall. We look forward to the opportunity to provide a lecture next year. You can help by donating to the dedicated lecture fund. For larger sponsorship opportunities, please contact the department chair, Prof. Lutz Busch.

Help us continue to offer these great lectures!
