In Fall 2019, the Economics 3347: International Trade class created podcasts which not only served to demonstrate the students’ understanding of the course concepts but allowed them to take that knowledge to a broader audience with a published podcast. Students recorded, edited, and produced podcasts in small groups discussing various complex international trade topics including:
- US Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods to force policy change in China
- US Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum for purposes of national security
- EU and Mercosur trade agreement: how the trade agreement is being used to advance environmental issues
- China’s Belt and Road Initiative: China’s massive global infrastructure project
