Teaching Faculty II, Department of Economics

Program Director, Philosophy, Politics, and Economics

Welcome to my website! I am faculty in the Department of Economics where I demonstrate to students the power of economics to explain the world around them.
 

But, man cannot live on economics alone. The most pressing challenges we face demand more than a single perspective. That’s where PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics) comes in. As an interdisciplinary field, PPE challenges the idealist to confront questions of effectiveness and feasibility and pushes the pragmatist to grapple with deeper values. 

The PPE Program at Florida State University regularly hosts speakers, book clubs, and other events. You can find out more at FSU's PPE website.
