Professor of Economics and Director of First Year Seminars
From the Princeton Review:
Mount Holyoke College economics professor James Hartley’s primary goal is to demonstrate the joy of learning. “The world is full of unbelievably fascinating ideas, and the more you learn about them, the richer and fuller life becomes.”
He thinks that a professor should always strive to know just about every- thing there is to know about a subject, but that this should never be an occasion for talking down to anyone. “Students should always be talked to as if they are capable of learning everything,” he says. “The most successful students realize that the point of an education is not to maximize their grade on an exam but to simply learn the material because it is fun to learn.”
He’s “patient, accessible, knowledgeable, and he makes students think.” He is “quite original in his presentation” and, in classes such as Macroeconomic Theory, Money and Banking, and Introductory Economics, delivers lectures as riveting stories, without referring to notes; he “draws a classroom into a puzzle which we then see if we can solve.” He never gives easy answers to hard ques- tions, and is “willing to talk to students in his office about any subject in the world (and always strives to be well-read enough to talk about whatever topic is of interest to a student).” “Hartley ran an amazing class full of intelligent and groundbreaking discussions!” says a student.

As one of the fastest-growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa, reaching upper-middle-income status in 2005, Botswana is among the world’s development success stories with significant mineral wealth, good governance, and prudent policies. Its government has weathered the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic more effectively than many of its neighbors. A successful vaccination campaign and sound macroeconomic management have allowed Botswana to recover to its pre-pandemic output level.
These achievements notwithstanding, Botswana is not set apart from the current global challenges. The war in Ukraine, which has caused food and fuel prices to soar across Africa, has exacerbated national and regional challenges. At the same time, the effects of climate change pose a significant risk and are jeopardizing food security by increasing crop failure and livestock mortality.
Since his inauguration, H.E. President Mokgweetsi Masisi has emphasized that his priorities include tackling climate change; creating jobs; accelerating digital transformation; curbing the burden of HIV/AIDS, in addition to promoting sustainable growth and good governance.
On December 13, the Brookings Institution’s Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) hosted H.E. Mokgweetsi Masisi for a conversation on strategies for pursuing these priorities, as well as sharing lessons learned from Botswana’s experience navigating the pressing issues facing the continent.
