‘Allgood and McGoldrick confront the fundamental questions that should guide every educator: What do we teach, how do we teach it, and for whom? Because teaching and learning are rarely central to PhD training, many academics often lack the means to reflect critically on their own practice. This book provides a vital framework for rigorous, inclusive, and effective research in economics education, alongside a practical path for instructors aspiring to better teaching.’
