Overcoming the She-cession: Supporting Women in the Workforce

The Wellesley Centers for Women hosts a panel discussion on the economic downturn—or "she-cession"—that was sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to disproportionately affect women, especially immigrant women and women of color. Panelists will discuss how the Biden-Harris administration can help support women in the workplace in order to overcome the challenges of the pandemic and move the needle forward on gender equity.

Panelists:

• Shelly Anand, J.D., Executive Director and Co-Founder, Sur Legal Collaborative
• Kristin Butcher, Ph.D., Marshall I. Goldman Professor of Economics, Wellesley College
• Deniz Çivril, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Wellesley Centers for Women
• Moderator: Layli Maparyan, Ph.D., Katherine Stone Kaufmann '67 Executive Director, Wellesley Centers for Women
