ECON 21SI: Perspectives on Economics, Diversity, and Discrimination (PEDD)

Course Description

In this student-initiated and student-facilitated reading group, we will read and discuss economics papers on racial and ethnic diversity and discrimination. We draw on papers from different economics literatures, including health, education, intergenerational mobility, and political economy. Our aim is to have a structured but informal conversation about each paper. Guest speakers will also present their research on these topics and have Q&A sessions with the students. There are no prerequisites, and discussions will be accessible for students with little or no prior exposure to Economics research. Freshmen and sophomores are particularly encouraged to enroll.
