YSI-INET 

History of Economic Thought and Philosophy of Economics working groups

Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba, Brasil

7th biennial ALAHPE Conference

November 19th, 2019

The goal of the workshop is to discuss the methods, sources, and epistemological challenges involved in the study of gender in economics and assessing the role of women economists in the history of Latin American economics. Our invited senior scholar this year is Dr. Verónica Montecinos, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at The Pennsylvania State University, Greater Allegheny.

The workshop will be divided in two parts.

PART 1 (9:00 am – 12:00)

Introductory remarks | 9:00 am – 9:15 am

Lecture "The Gender of Economists and Economics in Latin America" (open to the public with previous inscription) | 9:15 am – 10:15 am

Professor Montecinos will analyze how gender influences various dimensions of the economics profession, including hiearchies of authority and prestige, networks and political involvement, academic credentials, appointments, promotions, publications, and professional identity. In her presentation Professor Montecinos will refer to the sociology of professions and the sociology of gender and will present the results of a set of recent interviews with a group of economists whose work is related to the topic of the workshop.  She will share with the audience her experience doing research on Latin American economists, discuss the importance of cultivating interdiciplinarity and methodological pluralism to advance our understanding of the way economists approach their work, how they see themselves, and how others have come to perceive them.
