Equitable Growth Presents: Harnessing tech for worker power and inclusive prosperity

This event featured Lee Badgett, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a leading scholar on how sexual orientation and gender identity shape economic outcomes. Badgett presented an overview of her recent work in LGBTQ+ economics and data collection, as well as the most promising avenues for future research. Badgett’s presentation was followed by a conversation on the critical role of equity and inclusion in the broader economy.

This event was an installment of “Equitable Growth Presents: Evidence for a Stronger Economy,” a lecture series that seeks to foster a deeper understanding of cutting-edge research and analysis on economic inequality and growth. These lectures bring together leading scholars to explore how new research is shifting important conversations in academia and economic policy.
