Diversity and Ideas: Economic History Conference at Yale highlights current work on populations that have long been understudied either because of data constraints or methodological ones. Studying marginalized populations fosters the emergence of new insights into history as well as the potential to promote diversity and inclusion in the future.
The conference is co-organized by Shari Eli, University of Toronto (shari.eli@utoronto.ca) and Maggie E. C. Jones, University of Victoria (maggie.ec.jones@gmail.com).
Please register if you plan to attend. Registration is limited to Yale faculty and affiliated faculty, postdocs, graduate students, conference authors and co-authors.
Please note all times are in Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Presenters are in bold type.
