Picking up momentum in transforming education – oikos In Your Residence in Retrospect

Necessity is the mother of invention. When the COVID19 pandemic broke out we had to make major changes and transform the second edition of oikos In Residence. Originally planned to take place in Turin, the situation didn’t allow us to bring participants to the northern-Italian city, so we went for the second-best thing – bringing oikos to their residences. Hence, we dubbed this edition ‘oikos In Your Residence’, subtly hinting at the fact the participants had the opportunity to join in from the comfort of their own rooms.

A few months into the pandemic, everyone’s familiar with Zoom as a tool for just such things, but we further enhanced the experience by bringing in Miro and created a huge collaborative whiteboard to boost participants’ interactions.

With sixteen amazing facilitators joining in across five sessions, supported by our six awesome team members, the dozens of participants joined forces in making a big step towards making curriculum change a reality.

Communication is important, but just how important it is to communicate effectively about curriculum change was answered in the first session, featuring presentations by Ali Norrish from Economy and  Marc Beckmann from Economists4Future and discussions about the best way to reach different audiences.

In the second session, facilitators from local oikos chapters, highlighted the steps which are already implemented at different universities or schools in an effort to change education. We also discussed concrete steps to be taken when implementing change in our respective schools while identifying the stakeholders and allies for such initiatives.

In order to change the curriculum, we need to be able to review it and get to know what needs to change. This was the goal of the third session which got participants to review their own universities’ curriculums. It equipped them with a roadmap for designing their own curriculum review research projects, and highlighted how different methodological decisions can help achieve different objectives with the project. The session further engaged them with the opportunity to analyse real data from a recent curriculum review.

The fourth session, “Curriculum of the future” encouraged participants to envision what the curriculum could look like.  Their ideas and expectations were gathered into a ‘bucket’ which reflected on what ideal curriculum should be and what are the roles of different stakeholders in making it a reality.

The final session was a workshop on “Designing your own course”. This session was also a part of the Rethinking Economics Festival 2020 where participants worked with building blocks of economics and business education to create unique new classes. The workshop was based on both the  forthcoming book “Economy Studies” and oikos’ ongoing “Design Your Own Curriculum” project.

This concluded the second edition of oikos In Residence. The series of workshops gave us a platform not only to analyse and brainstorm the methods and ways to implement curriculum change, but also to review it frequently and improvise on the feedback. With more residences on their way in the future, the next step is to focus on increasing the reach of curriculum changers across the globe by supporting students to run similar workshops at their universities.

We would like to thank everyone who took part and helped make oikos In Your Residence a reality – from participants to facilitators to the team behind the project!

Central-Eastern Europe Regional Meeting 2020 Tbilisi

oikos CEE meeting is an annual event of oikos hosted by different chapters of the CEE region. The objective of the oikos CEE Regional Meeting 2020 is to gather an international community of oikos members, university students and partners with the aim to share ideas about different perspectives of sustainable development. The Meeting is going to be held at the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (Tbilisi, Georgia) on 25-27 September 2020. Alongside with oikos chapters, alumni in business, government, faculty members at leading universities for Economics and Business, different partners are supporting our project as well. We believe it is time to bring all of us together and accelerate sustainability perspectives. The conference will be held with both, online and onsite facilities.

Participants will receive certificates of attendance.

Working Language: English

Goals of the CEE meeting 2020
⚫ Raise local and international youth awareness on global sustainability challenges and opportunities
⚫ Analyze the challenges of the educational environment in the region and take international best practices to integrate sustainability into teaching and research
⚫ Work on real business cases and find the solution which can be implemented in real life
⚫ Acquire theoretical and practical knowledge about the role of corporations, small businesses, and startups, governments and universities in sustainable development.

Structure of the conference
🔵 Change in the World
The day will focus on sustainability challenges and opportunities on a global level. Invited speakers from international organizations, government and policymakers will share their perspectives on SDGs and sustainability in general.
🔵 Change in Business
This day will be a chance to listen to and interact with large, medium and small companies and entrepreneurs. Participants will have a chance to work on real business cases and offer their solutions.
🔵 Change in the Classroom
The last day will make the connection between major sustainability challenges of our time and what is taught in economics and management degrees.

The importance of sustainable development is constantly upgrowing all around the world. Nowadays, each country tries to disclose Sustainable Development Goals by encouraging the population for action.
The main subject of the Davos Economic Forum has been sustainable development for the last several years, which shows the importance of sustainability for governments, businesses, and society in sum.
Besides the importance of the topic, there are many social, environmental, and economical challenges in the world. Our planet is already beyond the boundaries imposed by the environment, that for one’s part is depicted in climate change.
In such circumstances, action from government, business, and society is the most vital for me, for you and for us. The scientific community has the power to suggest innovative ideas and solutions to the government and business.
2020 is the year of rethinking and reconsidering many things, it is time for big and small institutes to upgrade their actions through more sustainable ways.

oikos Students Transforming Economics and Management Education

Economics and management education has become a subject of increasing scrutiny in light of pressing environmental, economic, and social challenges. Some authors detail infamous and unethical corporate scandals as well as the 2008 global financial crisis to emphasize shortcomings in economics and management education, and the negative role business leaders might play in contributing towards global climate change and financial as well as social calamities (Colander et al 2009, Giacalone and Wargo 2009, Waddock and Lozano 2013, Swanson, 2004). Similarly, the discipline of economics has received ample criticism for relying on tools and theories that are poorly suited to deal with the mounting problems of the 21st century (Hodgson et al 1992, Keen 2002, Fullbrook 2004, Krugman 2009). This has led many scholars to also point to the need for reforming both economics and management curricula (Barone 1991, Giacalone and Thompson 2006, Reardon 2009, ISIPE 2014, Earl et al 2016).

This study specifically details how students have emerged as one of the key advocacy groups for economics and management education reform. Since the late 1980s, they have called for the better understanding of ecological responsibility (Barkawi 2000), and more recently, for the introduction of a pluralist curriculum informed by diverse schools of economic thought and “real world” experience (The Post-Crash Economics Society 2014). Hence, the question we address is “How can a student organization help transform economics and management education?”.

Info Call: oikos LEAP Researchers’ Track

For the past 5 years we have been running the oikos Leadership program. This year we are launching a pilot track of oikos Leadership Program (LEAP) focused exclusively on earlier career researchers – oikos LEAP Researchers’ Track.

10 participants will commit to a 9-month journey of personal development and experiential learning. We want to develop this community of researchers who are willing to develop their leadership, teaching, and research skills.

We have envisioned 1:1 coaching, peer to peer calls focused on personal challenges and research feedback, webinars with professors to help develop research, and coaching university students on curriculum reform. However, the content will be co-created and defined with the participants. During the kick-off call in September, the participants will define how much time they can invest in this track and co-create a leadership program that really helps researchers to succeed. 

If you are interested to participate in this Info-Call, please write to us in leap@oikos-international.org
