In this episode of the AUA Media Lab’s Focus Series, Dr. Knar Khachatryan, professor at the Manoogian Simone College of Business and Economics, academic director of the Office of Sponsored Programs and Technology Transfer, and project lead of the Swedish-funded initiative on “Closing Gender Gaps Through Economic Research in Armenia,” sits down with Dr. Lídia Farré, a tenured scientist at the Institute for Economic Analysis in Spain and a gender economics researcher.
They discuss what inspired Dr. Farré to pursue economics, the motivation behind her research, how structural and social factors influence gender disparities in education, employment, and labor markets, and the connection between gender representation and STEM fields.
