Series of Talks: “Economic studies with a gender perspective: What is not spoken of, does not exist”

The MIPP Millennium Institute and the Magister of Applied Economics (MAGCEA) program at the University of Chile, invite you to the series of talks “Economic studies with a gender perspective: what is not spoken of, does not exist”. The series seeks to increase the visibility of, and promote a gender perspective within the different disciplines of economics.

Through this initiative, we hope to encourage more students and researchers to address the gender perspective in their projects, and that more women are encouraged to study economics!

The talks will take place on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. between March 25 and May 6, 2021.

We seek to promote a place of learning by guiding those interested in economics, as well as future thesis students. The idea is to create a space for conversation regarding the progress, and address pending questions that exist in certain research areas.

Given the current situation, the talks will take place remotely through Zoom.
