Ryan says she chose to teach the course in German because "language is a substantial vehicle for culture in language." While some of the course's texts could be studied in English, not all of them have been translated.
Ryan emphasizes that all discussions will be conducted in German.
"I'm going to pretend I don't speak English," she said.
Whereas Ryan has been "well-trained" by her previous experience working within the Core, Sachs will be teaching within the Core for the first time.
Sachs's course will cover the theory, history and modern practice of economic development and how it is affected by international relations, geography and culture.
He said he will address the question, "Why are some countries rich and others poor?" and discuss ways to promote economic growth.
Sachs says the readings, which include some of his own works, are "broad and interesting."
