延续Marianne Ferber的批评,指出美国经济学教育中的标准化清单(如《自愿内容标准》和教材中的定义清单)窄化了经济思维,并提出了女性主义经济学家可用的回应策略,以帮助学生理解这些清单的社会文化局限性。

Abstract

As Marianne A. Ferber points out in her critique of the US National Voluntary Content Standards for Pre-College Economics Education, feminist economists who are educators face many pressing issues (Marianne Ferber 1999). In continuing the dialogue initiated by Ferber, we find her arguments apply not only to the Voluntary Content Standards, but also to the growing number of similar lists. Such defining lists figure prominently in the principles-of-economics texts used in introductory economics courses in the U.S., at both the secondary and university levels. After observing how these increasingly standardized principles of economics promote a narrowing of economic thinking, we pose possible feminist responses (antidotes) to them. Our aim is to arm feminist economists with responses that will help students understand that these lists are created without social and cultural boundaries. Our antidotes will also promote a fuller understanding of the scope and richness of economic thought, and the power of economic analysis.
