Fourth Annual Women in Macroeconomics Conference: Who is the 'individual' in Macroeconomics?

Fourth Annual Women in Macroeconomics Conference: Who is the 'individual' in Macroeconomics? 

Dr Carolina Alves together with Dr Angus Armstrong (Director of Rebuilding Macroeconomics, UCL-IGP) is organising the Rebuilding Macroeconomics’ Fourth Annual Conference on ‘Women in Economics’. The organisers want to investigate what we mean by the ‘individual’ in macroeconomics, particularly when considering gendered roles and identities. Does this alien caricature of an individual influence how women see macroeconomics, and might this perhaps account for lack of representation of women in the discipline? How can we do macroeconomics while taking full account of our multiple identities as real human beings? View the full programme here.

Newnham's 150th Anniversary Lecture Series - Prof Jane Humphries

Newnham's 150th Anniversary Lecture Series - Prof Jane Humphries 

Professor Jane Humphries CBE (NC 1967) will deliver the third of Newnham's four special 150th Anniversary Lectures, examining women’s unpaid work and the cost of living in England 1260-1860. In today’s age of rising living costs and scrutiny of gender parity, divisions of labour and the burden of caring and domestic work, much of it done by women without remuneration, looking to the past can help us begin to calculate the value of unpaid labour and radically reinvigorate historical estimates of women’s contributions to economic growth and human wellbeing. See the Newnham event page for further information and booking.
