On Wednesday 7th March, the female faculty and staff members organised the Athena SWAN Coffee at Newnham College with Prof. Caroline Hoxby, the 2018 Marshall lecturer. Prof. Hoxby is professor at Stanford University and her main research interests are in the economics of education. Her contribution to the literature is invaluable and she represents a brilliant example of a female economist who managed to achieve success in her professional life. The event was a great opportunity to have a chat on a variety of topics, ranging from everyday life to research and university. The purpose is to have more events similar to this one in the future, with other female and male speakers coming to Cambridge University for their talks and seminars.
