Introductions

Hello All! I am looking forward to working with you this semester. You may call me Al (that’s spelled ay el, not ay eye). My pronouns are they/them. I have been teaching at BMCC since Spring 2019 and before that, I’ve been teaching at NYU and The New School since 2015. I’m really grateful to be working here with the committed faculty and students I have met. I believe that anyone can learn economics because everybody engages with their local economy as part of daily living! Please respond in a comment below to introduce yourself.

    My name is Angelo, and I am taking this class A. because it is required and B. because I am interested to learn how the greater scale of the economy works and affects the daily lives of people, as well as how it influences policy and the products we consume. Some things that help me learn are visual aids such as presentations and images to show what it is we might be talking about. These have always helped me learn in a more efficient and lasting way. Some things I enjoy are basketball, and video games. Both have been core aspects of my life for as long as I can remember, and they have always been there for me.
