Join us for an important conversation about gender and the workplace as we explore topics ranging from confirmation bias to gender-based violence and the subtleties of power gap relationships. Our guest is Emily Nix, Assistant Professor of Finance and Business at the USC Marshall School of Business and a labor economist who studies the economic impacts of violence against women, the gender income gap, inequality, and human capital accumulation. Her research and expertise have been featured in the Economist, the Guardian, the Financial Times, NPR, and more.
We talk about her research on violence against women at work, the impact of Dobbs on job applications to companies offering abortion travel benefits, and more. We discuss her research on violence against women at work, the complexities of workplace romances, the impact of power dynamics on career trajectories, and the cultural reflections of these issues as portrayed in popular media. We also talk about reproductive rights in the US and their influence on businesses, the evolution of the field of economics, particularly in gender-focused research, and more!
