Exploring Economics: The Netflix of Economics | Rethinking with… Jorim Gerrard

Hey there fellow Rethinker, welcome back to the Rethinking Podcast! In this episode, we talk with Jorim Gerrard.

Jorim is a senior editor at Exploring Economics and also worked as the managing editor and community manager of Exploring Economics from 2017 - 2021. While joining Exploring Economics, he studied EPOG, the master of Economic Policies in the Age of Globalisation. Jorim explains the e-learning platform that Exploring Economics is, how it works and how it can help you. We talk about pluralism, his journey through pluralism and how it can change your perspective. Are you excited to explore economics? Well all the perspectives are waiting for you on the platform, but let’s hear the story behind it all first. We’re happy to have you rethink with us.

Exploring Economics (https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/) is an open-access e-learning platform that intends to shift the teaching of economics away from its prevailing mono-disciplinary and one-sided state towards an open, interdisciplinary and pluralist approach. Exploring Economics responds to the international appeal of students and scholars for a fundamental change in economics that has been re­inforced by the financial crisis in 2007/2008 and the acceleration of climate change in the early phase of the 21st century. By presenting and spreading alternative ideas about the economy, we seek to change the economic thinking of today’s youth and transform the economy of tomorrow into a more environmentally and socially sustainable system.
