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.
