Diversity in Economics

I believe that increasing diversity in Economics leads to better science in our field. Since we often don't know what we don't know, homogeneity of backgrounds in our departments limits the set of questions we ask. I'm currently invested in increasing retention of diverse aspiring economists at the beginning of the pipeline. This section of my website links to resources and papers I have come across through my involvement with initiatives to increase diversity in Economics.
