Pluralist community for better economics.
Ecumenical Economics helps policymakers explore and rethink economics beyond the dominant frameworks that shape federal policymaking. We connect congressional staff with researchers, practitioners, and communities developing new approaches to today’s economic challenges, creating spaces for real learning, dialogue, and fresh ideas.
Our Offerings
Happy Hours
Moderated panel discussions followed by an open happy hour for continued dialogue and connection, featuring practitioners and thinkers from diverse disciplines and perspectives.
Discussion Groups
Small-format study sessions for staffers and policy professionals exploring diverse approaches to economics.
Connecting
We facilitate connections between policymakers and experts who are pushing the economic paradigm.
Our Approach
We believe that we learn best in relationship with one another. Our gatherings build the trust and comradery that sustain long-term collaboration and make honest disagreement possible. We create spaces where people from different disciplines, institutions, and perspectives can think together about what a more just and sustainable economy could look like.
