Dr. Canh Dang is Associate Professor in Economics at King’s Business School, King’s College London. His work focuses on economics education, evidence communication and student success, with particular interests in assessment and feedback and approaches to teaching quantitative subjects. He is interested in how economic ideas and empirical findings are communicated to students, policymakers, practitioners and the wider public.
His educational interests include helping students interpret quantitative evidence, understand economic reasoning and assess the strengths and limitations of empirical claims. His work on assessment and feedback addresses how teaching can support students’ understanding and development. These interests connect with wider questions about economic literacy and the communication of complex information to audiences with different levels of prior knowledge.
For this symposium, Dr Dang brings these educational interests into dialogue with applied economics and public communication. The proposed discussion will examine how the presentation of evidence can shape beliefs and decisions, and how communicators can explain uncertainty without obscuring the substantive findings. As symposium chair, he aims to bring together researchers and educators interested in the relationship between economic evidence, audience understanding and public decision making, with contributions from economics education, central bank communication and media reporting.
