Economics through the Photographer's Lens

Assistant Professor of Economics Anna Shostya, PhD, developed and teaches the "Exploring Economic Issue through Photographer's Lens" course with the goal of challenging the perception of economics as a dry, dismal science, and improve students' imagination and creative thinking by looking at economics through a camera lens.
