Abstract
Asserting that economists must work intentionally to put critical thinking skills into their courses, presents an approach that involves team teaching a course combining economics and another discipline with contrasting assumptions and values. Describes the issues addressed in courses combining economics and English literature and economics and biology. Assesses the benefits of interdisciplinary teaching.
