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 taught 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 note, everything posted to this website is viewable to the entire BMCC OpenLab community and potentially searchable by the public. If you prefer, you’re welcome to email me instead but please do respond. Please include responses to any or all of the following:
- Your Name (as registered)
- Your Nickname (how you want to be addressed in class)
- Pronoun (how you want to be addressed in addition to your name, usually “he,” “she,” “they,” or “name only (no pronoun)” but there are many other options)
- Why you are taking this class
- Something that helps you learn
- Something you enjoy
For instance: My name is Alexandria Eisenbarth, I go by Al. You can also call me “professor” or “Mx. Eisenbarth” if you want, but I do NOT like to be called “Mr.” or “Mrs.” or “Ms.” or “miss.” My pronouns are they/them. I teach this class because a money-paying job is required to access the necessaries of living in our economy in the absence of personal wealth and because I really love helping people access this language of power in ways that are relevant to their own life. I learn best through experiences and prefer a visual/auditory combo if learning-by-doing isn’t available. It is difficult for me to learn when my experiences and memories are not given credibility. I like to crochet, play music, garden, bike, and embark upon personal spiritual growth.

Hello my name is Alex Angamarca. You can just call me Alex because in all honesty I don’t really know much about pronouns, but I’m always open to learn something new and get along with everyone. I take this class to have a better understanding of the modern economic system. I’m really good at learning with visuals as I need to both listen and see what is being taught. So basically what I have been told through out the years is that I have a photographic memory. I enjoy riding my bike and watching different kinds of videos on YouTube to entertain myself whenever I’m bored.
