Irish Society for Women in Economics (ISWE) Conference on Diversity, Economics and Society 2025

The aim of the conference is to present papers relevant for understanding how gender and diversity are related to areas including, but not limited to; the labour market, inequality, firms, finance, the macro-economy, social relations and norms, education, the environment, and human behaviour. Papers considering any dimension of diversity (e.g. socioeconomic, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, physical ability) are welcome. We particularly welcome papers investigating intersectionality, gender pay and work gaps, economic benefits/business case for diversity, impacts of gender segregated education on student outcomes and degree choices, and channels through which gender imbalances and/or lack of diversity in the economics discipline are perpetuated. Academic research is needed in this space to help inform the policy debate and ultimately to improve our understanding of policy options.
