‘Planning Workshop’
19th February 2021
9-11am
The under-representation of women in economics is an international issue which is also replicated in Ireland. The IEA is currently developing the Irish Society for Women in Economics (ISWE) to help address this issue.
On Friday 19th February from 9-11am we will hold our first ‘planning workshop. The aim of this workshop is to learn from the experiences of similar initiatives in other countries and to discuss the substantive and organisational development of ISWE.
Anyone who is interested in being involved in ISWE is encouraged to attend. Both male and female economists working in the public or private sector on the island of Ireland is welcome. PhD students are particularly encouraged to attend.
The workshop will have 2 parts:
- First, Dr. Leonora Risse, Chair of the Women in Economics Network (WEN) in Australia, will share her experiences of setting up and developing WEN since 2017 ((opens in a new window)https://esawen.org.au/).
- Second, workshop participants will be divided into breakout rooms to brainstorm and discuss how best to develop ISWE in Ireland, covering topics such as the purpose of the society, its events and activities, its governance and funding structure.
