How Economics Discovered Women

Interest in research on the economic role of women rose during the 1970s and 80s as large numbers of women entered the labor force (and the field of economics) and as economists continued to expand their analyses beyond formal markets and into the household and the family.  Gender economics is now a substantial subfield, with new sources of data, from experiments to government administrative rosters, that give us an unprecedented ability to measure and compare the traits, behaviors, histories, and economic outcomes of men and women.

[QMSS Talk]: Trustworthy Allies or Ulterior Motives? Black Americans’ Perceptions of White vs. Latino Allyship

Allyship is traditionally defined as actions by advantaged group members intended to support a disadvantaged target group. However, this definition excludes allies from other disadvantaged groups. I propose that expanding the definition of allyship to include both advantaged- and disadvantaged-group allies allows us to compare how these different forms of allyship impact the target group receiving support. The present research examined Black Americans' perceptions of the motives and trustworthiness of White and Latino allies supporting the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.
