November 5, 2021 | In-person and via Zoom

Recent discussions have called for some reforms to economics, to promote more equal representation in terms of identity, more openness in terms of theoretical and methodological approach, and to tackle the historically produced Eurocentrism in our field and its claim to neutrality and universality (www.d-econ.org/mission/). The Program for Gender Analysis in Economics in the Department of Economics will host a conference and workshops on these issues in the teaching of graduate and undergraduate courses, with the objective of stimulating awareness and debate on different forms of exclusion that occur in the teaching of economics, and ways that we can work to diversify and decolonize economics curriculum/teaching.
