Charles Wheelan is a senior lecturer in the Harris School. He received an M.P.A. from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School in 1993 and a Ph.D. in public policy from the Harris School in 1998. Since then, he has served as the Midwest correspondent for The Economist, as an economics and finance correspondent for WBEZ Chicago Public Radio, an adjunct lecturer at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, and most recently as director of policy and communications for Chicago Metropolis 2020. During the summers of 2006 and 2007, he was a visiting assistant professor at Dartmouth College. In addition, Wheelan previously served as the speechwriter for Maine Governor John R. McKernan, Jr. He wrote Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science (2002), which, according to the W.W. Norton catalog, "makes up for all of those Econ 101 lectures you slept through (or avoided) in college, demystifying key concepts, laying bare the truths behind the numbers, and answering those questions you have always been too embarrassed to ask." He is currently writing an introductory public policy textbook to be published by W.W. Norton and Company.
