Maeve Cohen

I studied economics at the University of Manchester where I was deeply dissatisfied with the narrow and highly theoretical curriculum. With some fellow students, I co-founded the Post-Crash Economics Society (PCE) to campaign for a better economics education. We later sourced funding and established ourselves as a national charity. In 2015 PCE merged with Rethinking Economics (RE), another student-led campaign for curriculum reform. Three years on, we have a dedicated staff team support student groups across the globe to lobby their university departments for change. After graduating, I remained a trustee at RE whilst working for the Institute for Public Policy Research. I joined RE as director in 2017.

I love economics, helping students to discover and nurture their potential and developing, as well as implementing new ideas. I'm fascinated by different ideas and approaches and broadly an optimist when it comes to the future development of our civilisation. I think we are underestimating greatly the potential for higher social competence and exciting new technologies.
More down to earth, I teach primarily macroeconomics, monetary economics and behavioural finance. My current research interest lies in international behavioural finance, specifically the Euro crisis.
