Für einen großen Teil der Befragten sind die vorherrschenden Lehrbücher weitgehend hinreichend in Bezug auf die Wiedergabe des Stands der Forschung, der Vermittlung von in der Wirtschaft zu beobachtenden Problemen und in Bezug auf die Vermittlung von pluralen Ansätzen. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass sich die grundsätzliche Kritik an den Lehrinhalten bis dato kaum zu einer Kritik an den einschlägigen Lehrbüchern weiterentwickelt hat (vgl. Urban/Van Treek 2016).

Irene van Staveren, professor of pluralist development economics, presents her pluralist teaching method for the introductory level. Based on her textbook “Economics After the Crisis: An Introduction to Economics from a Pluralist and Global Perspective” she suggests to focus on real-world problems and pari passu apply economic theories such as Social economics, Institutional economics, Post-Keynesian economics as well as Neoclassical economics without wasting time to single out the latter. Besides pointing out advantages of such a pluralist method Irene illustrates her approach based on interesting topics such as growth or feminist economics.

Global Social Theory is a large wiki-like project by Gurminder K Bhambra. Its central aim is decolonising and diversifying universities, production of knowledge, and social thought in general. It represents a large online library divided into three parts: concepts, thinkers, and topics in/of social theory and decolonial thought. Every part comprises of short, introductory articles on an according theme. It may be helpful to give you a general overview (and a list of basic readings) on the most essential areas of social theory: caste, class, and race; civil society; racism; secularism; feminism and many others. It may also allow students whose university curriculum in sociology, economics, or other social sciences lacks diversity to compensate for that.
