Abstract: The economic crisis has highlighted the significance of ongoing work by pluralist economists to define and implement a more pluralistic economics education. This paper explores the close connection between pluralism and student engagement, and argues this connection is a particularly compelling attribute of a pluralistic approach to teaching economics in the context of the economic crisis. The paper illustrates how this connection is articulated in the literature on pluralism and economics education, with a particular focus on community engagement. The paper concludes with observations on the relationship between pluralism and the inclusiveness of economics course content and pedagogy.
