On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The economics of sexual orientation and gender identity is a young field within economics, beginning in the late 1990s. Evolving from heterodox and feminist critiques of labor economics, the field has evolved both methodologically and theoretically to resemble the economics of race and the economics of gender. Situated firmly in labor economics, the economics of sexual orientation and gender identity examines how sexual and gender minorities navigate the modern economy, questioning our assumptions of Becker’s model of the household and traditional models of gender discrimination along the way. In this talk, I will trace the origins of the field, highlighting the key stylized facts which have come to define the field, before examining some of the important questions researchers are grappling with today. Data from the UK Understanding Society Survey will be used to illustrate our examples, highlighting the role of the rich UK data in helping us understand the economics of sexual orientation and gender identity.”
