LGBTQ+ and Diverse Gender Identities

This session aims to explore the economic behaviours of LGBTQ+ people, the treatment they experience, and the impacts of discrimination, bias, societal attitudes, and systemic barriers across key dimensions of society. Additionally, the discussion aims to address how these factors influence policies, organizational practices, and broader economic outcomes.

Gender at the Top

This session aims to explore the persistence of gender disparities in leadership positions and how gender diversity at the top impacts wider outcomes. We welcome contributions that examine the determinants and the implications of gender gaps in top positions in terms of representation, earnings, or societal attitudes across various sectors.

AI and Diversity

As AI systems increasingly shape decisions in hiring, education, law enforcement, and healthcare, their impact on diversity is profound. We welcome submissions that explore the influence of AI on diversity and discrimination or use AI to generate new research on these topics.

Environment and Social Inequalities

Vulnerable populations often bear the brunt of climate change and natural disasters. We welcome studies that explore how environmental degradation disproportionately impacts these groups, exacerbating existing social and economic disparities.

Attitudes toward Migration

Immigration is a fundamental aspect and important concern of our societies. We welcome studies that examine the individual, societal and political attitudes toward migration and their impact on the migrants or host societies.
