Beth Wilson
Professor
Professor Wilson is interested in international and developmental economics, and because of this, she became a Peace Corps volunteer from 1986-88 in Niger, Africa. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Oregon in 1995, and prior to coming to Humboldt in 2001, taught at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. She is committed to providing a high-quality learning experience for her students and won a campus-wide award for her efforts on providing education to the disabled.
Areas of Interest
Professor Wilson teaches development economics, intermediate microeconomics, international economics, and principles of economics. She also developed and regularly teaches our only service learning course, sustainable rural economic development. Beth is a faculty advisor for the international studies major and occasionally teaches one of their core courses on international political economy.
Professor Wilson has published articles in the Review of Economics and Statistics and a number of journals associated with the American Real Estate Society. She has provided economic impact analyses for local non-profit organizations and contributed to an edited volume on Service Learning. Her most recent research interests focus on the scholarship of teaching and sustainable rural economic development.
