From the mind of an expert: Feminist Economy and Law

The Economics Law Department invites students and all interested in the topic to participate in the conference. Admission is free with advance registration.

The feminist economy emphasizes the incorporation of the gender variable (woman, man, others) to explain the workings of the economy and markets.

The overlap of this public agenda discourse has led to regulations for equality. In this scenario, “intersectionality,” gender quotas, salary gaps, and gender equality will be the dialogue cornerstones.
