UBC IDEA

VSE's Nicole Fortin prepares to address inequality and the gender pay gap.

Although we are experiencing tremendous progress in bridging the gender pay gap, the progress is mostly concentrated in the first 90 percentiles of earners.

In a time where women vastly outnumber men in universities, it is important to ask why women are underrepresented in high paying jobs.

Nicole Fortin discusses preferences, the glass ceiling, and what it means to "think like a man" in the workplace in her research.

Do you nerd out over economics?
Do you drop "consumer theory" and "comparative advantage" on the daily?
Did you wreck monopoly as a kid?

Moblab is putting up a long term case comp to determine which University econ's hardest.

Our friends at FoMSF put up a mock refugee camp earlier this week.
Big kudos to them and all the clubs who participated.
Look out for more really cool stuff coming up.
