Exploring the development of the "History of financial crises" curriculum

Financial crises have profoundly influenced global economies, societies, and policymaking, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of their causes, mechanisms, and impacts. Despite extensive research, finance education often lacks interdisciplinary approaches that address the multifaceted nature of financial crises. This study aims to design and implement an innovative "History of Financial Crises" course that integrates historical, sociological, and economic perspectives to enhance students' analytical and practical skills. Using literature analysis, case studies, and expert interviews, this research develops a systematic framework for course content, emphasizing interdisciplinary knowledge, dynamic teaching methods, and the incorporation of modern technologies. The results highlight the effectiveness of integrating case-based teaching, situational simulations, and ideological education in fostering critical thinking, social responsibility, and ethical awareness. The study also identifies opportunities for leveraging modern tools, such as financial data analysis and network simulations, to modernize finance education. This research contributes to finance education theory and practice by offering an innovative curriculum model that bridges historical and technical knowledge with practical applications. The findings provide valuable insights for course reform and interdisciplinary teaching, offering a pathway for cultivating financial professionals equipped to navigate the complexities of a globalized and interconnected financial system.
