This fall, I am teaching Managerial Economics in the Design MBA program at California College of the Arts.
This winter and spring, I will be teaching economics to artists at Rhode Island School of Design -- a drawing class called Paint by Numbers and a seminar called Economics of Imagination. I will also teach Creative Financial Literacy for Teens in the RISD Continuing Education program.
