Theme & Goals
The guiding purpose of this workshop is to create a space for the support and promotion of members of the EC community who belong to underrepresented genders: women, transgender people of any gender, non-binary and gender non-conforming people, and all people with historically marginalized or underrepresented genders in EconCS. This workshop is also open to allies of any gender.
In service of its purpose, this workshop has three main goals:
To highlight research from members of underrepresented gender identities
To provide participants with networking opportunities, and
To facilitate open discussion about the diverse and intersectional experiences of marginalized gender groups in EconCS, and actions that can be taken to make our communities more inclusive to people of all gender identities.
