Economics for Global Travelers

This blog will serve as the homepage for my new course: Economics for Global Travelers. This class is a sophomore seminar, part of Kalamazoo College's Shared Passages seminar program. It is open only to sophomores and designed primarily for those planning to study abroad during their Junior year. (Others, of course, are welcome to follow online.)
