OM DENNE EPISODE
In a classroom, I can teach you how the world is supposed to work. Study abroad shows you how it actually works. Dr. Darshak Patel joins me to talk about taking students to Kenya to watch a universal basic income program up close, and why he would rather learn a new country alongside his students than teach one he already knows.
Darshak is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Kentucky. We met there as graduate students. Since then, we have written many papers together, co-founded The Econ Games, and continue working to make economics accessible to students.
In this episode, we cover
- The importance of global education and how to get started
- How the Econ Games Started
- The importance of community in economics
Did you study abroad? Tell us in the comments what lesson stuck with you.
