We talk with Elisa Van Waeyenberge and Kevin Deane about their new book. Elisa Van Waeyenberge is a lecturer in Economics at SOAS University of London. She teaches macroeconomic analysis to undergraduate and graduate diploma students as well as research methods to master students. Her research interests include alternative macroeconomic policies in developing countries, the role of International Financial Institutions across policy and scholarly realms, as well as the financing of infrastructure and public service provision. Kevin Deane is a Lecturer in Global Public Health at Queen Mary University of London. He studied Development and Economics at SOAS, and gained a MSc in Development Economics and a PhD in Economics. His main research interests relate to the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa and draws on a range of disciplines including economics, development studies, public health and social epidemiology.
This textbook is aimed at undergraduate students, and takes a thematic, rather than chronological, approach to the subject. Many of the chapters are authored by members of Reteaching Economics.

We are asking educators to write about their classes and the course materials they use. The goal is to provide high school and college teachers with ideas for courses they might teach and the resources that exist.
